Here’s a comparison of the UW-CTC product using the default AWIPS 2 color table (bottom right) vs. a warm to cold color table (upper right). In the upper right image the stronger cloud top cooling rates are displayed as a warmer color, similar to IR satellite color table enhancements that display the colder cloud top temperatures with warmer colors. This has the benefit of drawing the attention of forecasters who are conditions to associate warmer colors with more extreme values (ie, radar data).
