Appendix

Colors are used to identify the different 

NEXRAD echo intensities (reflectivity) measured 

in dBZ (decibels of Z). Reflectivity (designated 

by the letter Z) is the amount of transmitted 

power returned to the radar receiver. The dBZ 

values increase as returned-signal strength 

increases. Precipitation intensity is displayed 

using colors represented by the dBZ values listed 

in the dBZ Values/Precipitation Table.
