Abstract
Evidence is produced to support the belief that temperatures at the tops of weather echoes are an indication of the relative strengths of the vertical currents within the echoes. Two types of weather echo are indicated according as the vertical currents are strong or weak, giving support to a theory for two different methods for the production of water drops of raindrop size in the atmosphere.Keywords
