Figure 4.14a. Hook echoes in supercells. Radar reflectivity factor only, in dBZ e , (top) for a
supercell in the Texas Panhandle on May 29, 2001 (as detected by the U. Mass. X-Pol mobile
radar); (bottom) for a tornadic supercell in Kansas on May 8, 2003 (range rings given every
5 km). Attenuation has reduced the thickness of the radar echo (bottom), making it look
artificially elongated.
