He's also the youngest of all of them.įor those watching a world away in Long Island, it's no surprise Scally always stood out. Over the past two seasons, Scally is one of only 10 Bundesliga defenders who've managed 2,200 minutes, 30 matches and at least a 47% tackling percentage. Meanwhile, Scally is not only solidified as a starting Bundesliga defender, but is routinely going toe-to-toe with the world's best players.

That both Adu and Scally have been repeatedly eclipsed since is a testament to how far the U.S. When the player from Lake Grove, New York, was 15, he became the second-youngest professional American soccer player ever, behind Freddy Adu. That's right: Monchengladbach's 19-year-old starting right-back, in one of the world's best leagues, is American. men's national team pool, the Monchengladbach defender whose proverbial cup runneth over isn't a household name stateside like it is in Germany, where he quickly bloomed. ET, ESPN+ (U.S.)įor anyone not versed on the intricacies of the U.S. Stream LIVE: Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Who knows, you may have even asked: Who's that? You might have even marveled at the improbability of the baby-faced right-back who helped keep Sadio Mane and Alphonso Davies off the scoreboard. Perhaps you saw Borussia Monchengladbach goalkeeper Yann Sommer produce a Bundesliga record 19 saves in last week's 1-1 draw against six-time UEFA Champions League winners Bayern Munich.

Hail is a good reflector of energy and will return very high dBZ values. These values are estimates of the rainfall per hour, updated each volume scan, with rainfall accumulated over time. Depending on the type of weather occurring and the area of the U.S., forecasters use a set of rainrates which are associated to the dBZ values. The higher the dBZ, the stronger the rainrate. Typically, light rain is occurring when the dBZ value reaches 20. The scale of dBZ values is also related to the intensity of rainfall. The value of the dBZ depends upon the mode the radar is in at the time the image was created. Notice the color on each scale remains the same in both operational modes, only the values change. The other scale (near left) represents dBZ values when the radar is in precipitation mode (dBZ values from 5 to 75). One scale (far left) represents dBZ values when the radar is in clear air mode (dBZ values from -28 to +28). Each reflectivity image you see includes one of two color scales. The dBZ values increase as the strength of the signal returned to the radar increases. So, a more convenient number for calculations and comparison, a decibel (or logarithmic) scale (dBZ), is used.


Reflectivity (designated by the letter Z) covers a wide range of signals (from very weak to very strong). "Reflectivity" is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. The colors are the different echo intensities (reflectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels of Z) during each elevation scan.
