This report contains material taken from the available literature on identifying severe thunderstorms, hail, and tornadoes from radar echoes. Radar echo signatures indicating severe weather are consolidated for geographical areas and weather types to afford the radar meteorologist easy access to the findings of several investigators in the weather radar field. Information concerning X-band, S-band, and C-band radars is included. (Author)
