WX Radar Rules of Thumb
I know I have seen it before somewhere, but can't recall where. Can anyone tell me some of the rules of thumb equations for calculating the height of precipitation in a thunderstorm from the wx radar? For instance, painting a cell at 50 miles, and utilizing the tilt to find out how high the precipitation reaches?

Thanks.
