Reflectivity is also correlated with intensity terminology (phraseology) for air traffic control (ATC) purposes. WSR-88D Weather Radar Precipitation Intensity Terminology, defines this correlation.
Light, moderate, heavy, extreme
14
BL Select incorrect statement:
Precipitation at any location may be heavier than depicted on the Base Reflectivity image because it is occurring above the lowest elevation angle.
