Abstract

Radar echoes over the Florida peninsula have been recorded manually every 3 hr on a 7.5 by 7.5 mi grid during the past three summers. This note summarizes the echo distribution for the period May through August 1963. The spatial and temporal variations of convective activity were found to be highly correlated with the sea breeze.
