Radar Coverage
Figure 6-8 ECHO TOPS Legend
The display of radar coverage is always active when NEXRAD or Echo Tops is selected. The display
indicates the currently available NEXRAD radar coverage and Echo Tops areas in a grayish-purple color where
information is unavailable or is not being collected. This means that the radar capability exists in the grayish-
purple areas, but that it is not active or is off-line.
CLOUD TOPS
NOTE:
Cloud Tops and Echo Tops cannot be turned on at the same time.
Cloud Tops data (Figure 6-9) shows the altitude at the top of the clouds. This is determined from satellite
imagery.
