(this 22-image Java animation sequence will take a minute or two to load...)
THe EC enhancement curve is designed for general purpose use during the cool season. The green and blue regions highlight the cloud top temperature range normally associated with cool season precipitation (-15 to -50 C); the red and gray enhancements represent -51 to -61 C and -62 to -70 C convective cloud tops, respectively.
