HAZARD AVOIDANCE
ECHO TOPS
Display of Echo Tops is mutually exclusive with Cloud Tops and NEXRAD.
NOTE:
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.
