Weather Attenuated Color Highlight (WATCH)
This feature is used as a tool to determine areas
of possible inaccuracies in displayed intensity due to
weakening of the radar energy. This weakening is known
as ‘attenuation’. The radar energy weakens as it passes
through areas of intense precipitation, large areas of
lesser precipitation, and distance. This has an effect on
the return intensity. The more energy that dissipates, the
lesser the displayed intensity of the return. Accuracy of
the displayed intensity of returns located in the shaded
areas are suspect. Make maneuvering decisions with this
information in mind.
