HAZARD AVOIDANCE
The following may cause abnormalities in displayed NEXRAD radar images:
• Ground clutter
• Strobes and spurious radar data
• Sun strobes (when the radar antenna points directly at the sun)
• Interference from buildings or mountains, which may cause shadows
• Metallic dust from military aircraft, which can cause alterations in radar scans
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.
