ECHO TOPS

NOTE:

Display of Echo Tops is mutually exclusive with Cloud Tops and NEXRAD.

Echo Tops data shows the location, elevation, and direction of the highest radar echo. The highest radar echo

does not indicate the top of a storm or clouds; rather it indicates the highest altitude at which precipitation is
detected. Information is derived from NEXRAD data.
