ECHO TOPS (SIRISUXM)
NOTE:
Echo Tops cannot be displayed at the same time as Cloud Tops or NEXRAD data is displayed.
The Echo Tops weather product 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.

Altitude for selected
Echo Top
Displaying Echo Tops information:
1)
Select the ‘Map - Weather Data Link (XM)’ Page.
2)
Press the
Echo Top
Softkey.
Since Echo Tops and Cloud Tops use the same color scaling to represent altitude, display of these weather
products is mutually exclusive. When Echo Tops is activated, NEXRAD and Cloud Tops data are removed.
