NEXRAD Intensity
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 table to the right.
