Figure 6-2. Linear radar-bright and -dark wind streaks centered at 15°N, 60.43°E. It is difficult to determine if the streaks represent radar-bright streaks on a dark background or radar-dark streaks on a bright background. Some radar-bright fan streaks near the bottom of the image indicate a wind direction from the northwest. Radar illumination is from the left at an incidence angle of 46 deg.
