Displaying Echo Tops information:
1)
Select the MAP - WEATHER DATA LINK (XM) Page.
2)
Press the
ECHO TOP
Softkey.
To display the Echo Tops legend, select the
LEGEND
Softkey when Echo Tops is selected for display. 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 enabled on the MAP - WEATHER DATA LINK (XM) Page, the
system disables the NEXRAD and Cloud Tops weather products.

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 on the MAP - WEATHER DATA LINK
(XM) Page.
