Radar data collected by the 5-cm MIT radar, which was deployed aboard the R/V Vickers during the intensive observing period of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment, are partitioned into convective and stratiform Cartesian grid columns. The vertical structure of convective echo is examined through the use of two variables: echo top height and the height of the 30-dBZ reflectivity contour. The first of these variables has traditionally been used to describe the vertical structure characteristics of convection, and the second has recently been linked to internal microphysical properties and lightning.
