CLOUD TOPS<br />

NOTE: Cloud Tops and Echo Tops cannot be displayed at the same time.<br />

The Cloud Tops weather product (Figure 6-16) depicts cloud top altitudes as determined from satellite<br />

imagery.<br />

NOTE: If a GDL 69/69A SXM receiver is installed, the broadcast rate for Cloud Tops is 30 minutes. As with<br />

all SiriusXM Weather products, the product age becomes amber when it reaches half of the expiration time,<br />

which is 60 minutes for Cloud Tops. Therefore, this weather product age may be amber during routine<br />

operation.<br />

Displaying Cloud Tops information:<br />

2) Press the CLD TOP Softkey.<br />

To display the Cloud Tops legend (Figure 6-17), press the LEGEND Softkey when Cloud Tops is selected for<br />

display. Since Cloud Tops and Echo Tops use the same color scaling to represent altitude, display of these<br />

weather products is mutually exclusive. When Cloud Tops is activated, Echo Tops data is removed.<br />
