Stratiform and convective rain. Stratiform and convective rain.

CSU-CHILL X-band reflectivity in an RHI scan through light rain and rain showers on 13 August 2013. Enhanced reflectivity in the melting layer (the bright band) is visible in the stratiform precipitation at ranges less than ~28 km. The stronger vertical motions in the shower activity beyond 28 km range disrupt the bright band signature.
