iFly GPS Forum

uhhhhhhh... need more context to be more confident in my answer, but drawing off my plethora of useless weather and remote sensing knowledge...

Are you seeing pink within an established echo? Pink does denote a stronger return ie more vigoruous precip/possible hail. It goes light green/dark/yellow/orange/red/pink/purple/white

If you're looking at a velocity reading red means precip moving away from the radar station, and the lighter the color the stronger. We can correlate that to windspeeds in an existing storm. IIRC pink would equate to something like 50-55 mph. Make sure to keep in mind if you're watching a severe storm on veolcity readings that the radar can only slice higher portions of the storm as it looks farther away, so it's very easy to miss low level rotation. Hence the DOW and public reports are so critical during the spring (although this July is quite active on the tornado front!)
Hope I didn't bore you and answered your question!

Um, are you guys just discussing weather radar in general, or about how iFly displays ADSB radar?

ADSB weather radar doesn't inlclude any storm velocity information.  It only includes echo return intensity information.

And pink can mean whatever the application developer decides it means, since there's no defined standard/requirement for display of ADSB radar data.

If you're talking about something else, it would be good to be specific, because there's a lot of room for confusion here.  (ADSB-in radar, XM weather radar, internet-based weather radar from who knows what source, etc.  Any of those products may start with a NEXRAD weather radar antenna, but look very different by the time you see it on whatever display you're using.)
