5.2.5. Cloud Tops
The Cloud Tops screen displays a Cloud Top graphical depiction. Cloud Tops are the
given height of convective and upper-level clouds determined from satellite mosaic.
The Cloud Tops screen displays the graphical cloud images overlaid on the basic
weather map (
Figure 5-48 ).

Key. The Cloud Top legend displays on the right of the screen (
Figure 5-49
).
Hide the Cloud Tops Legend

The Cloud Tops screen uses an altitude filter, controlled by Hot Keys, allowing the pilot
to select the altitude for cloud top display. Only cloud tops at or above the selected
altitude filter value will display. The pilot adjusts the altitude filter value by pressing
either the FL+ or the FL- Hot Key. The Cloud Tops altitude filter increments based on
the current data link information. The current filter level is shown in the lower right of
the screen labeled TOPS >FL XX (with XX being the filter level). When the FL+ Hot Key is
pressed, the altitude filter advances to the next filter increment. When the FL- Hot Key
is pressed, the altitude filter decreases to the next filter increment. The default setting is
the lowest altitude filter above the ownship or the previous setting.
Increase or Decrease Cloud Top Altitude Filter
• Press the FL+ Hot Key to increase the altitude filter to the next
altitude increment.
• Press the FL- Hot Key to decrease the altitude filter to the previous
altitude increment.
