Stratiform and convective radar echo. 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 echo at ranges less than ~28 km. The stronger vertical motions and wider variety of hydrometeor diameters in the shower activity beyond 28 km range disrupt the bright band signature. Photo credit: Patrick Kennedy |
