    Page 32 JANUARY 2010 - TD 220a DEPLOYMENT GUIDE, RDCP600 1.5.6 Limitations for the surface cell The surface cell is positioned so that the centre of the cell lies at the level of the surface. Usually one would think that this would cause all sorts of problems, but initial tests have shown that for some configurations the surface speed measurements do make sense.
