sector scan
A radar scanning procedure in which the antenna sweeps through an interval of azimuth less than the full 360° at a fixed elevation angle.
Often the azimuth extent of a sector scan may be only a few degrees in order to concentrate the observations on a particular storm or region of a storm.
