HAZARD AVOIDANCE
ECHO TOPS
Echo Tops is mutually exclusive with Cloud Tops and NEXRAD.
NOTE:
Echo Tops data (Figure 6-7) 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. The information is derived from NEXRAD data.
Press the ECHO TOP Softkey to show data about the highest radar echo. Note that Cloud Tops and Echo
Tops use the same color scaling to represent altitude. Cloud Tops and Echo Tops are mutually exclusive.
When Echo Tops is activated, NEXRAD and Cloud Tops are removed.
Displaying Echo Tops information:
1) Select the Weather Data Link Page.
2) Press the ECHO TOPS Softkey.
Echo Tops data displays only on the Weather Data Link Page.
