TEC Radar return anomoly on Jacksonville NWS Radar
Posted by JAC on 4/8/2011, 8:34 am
Localized high electron concentrations in the ionosphere precipitate into the upper troposphere as a charged plasma.

Microwaves from radars bounce off of this and an anomolous signature is seen.

This is a good indication of abnormally high TEC over a given location.

Notice the spoke pattern off the Jacksonville radar.
