Echo pulse
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005254
The portion of a radar signal that is reflected back to the radar receiver after striking a target in the atmosphere. This pulse carries information about the target's distance, intensity, and sometimes its velocity. The time delay between the transmitted and received echo pulse determines the range to the target.
