Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004420
The radar signal reflected back from a cloud, indicating the presence and characteristics of hydrometeors within it. The strength and pattern of the echo provide information about cloud structure, precipitation intensity, and the presence of ice or liquid water. Weather radar systems use these echoes to detect and track storms.
