The display of unavailable radar coverage is always active when either NEXRAD or Echo Tops is selected.
Areas where NEXRAD radar coverage and Echo Tops information is not currently available or is not being
collected are indicated in gray shade of purple.
CLOUD TOPS
NOTE:
Cloud Tops and Echo Tops cannot be displayed at the same time.
Cloud Tops data (Figure 6-16) depicts cloud top altitudes as determined from satellite imagery.
Figure 6-16 Cloud Tops Data
Displaying Cloud Tops information:

Press the
CLD TOP
Softkey.
To display the Cloud Tops legend (Figure 6-17), press the
LEGEND
Softkey when Cloud Tops is selected for
