echo contour

From Glossary of Meteorology
A trace through points of equal signal intensity on a radar display.

The properties of echo contours are not standardized. For example, the contour intervals may be fixed or variable, may be corrected for range or for various sources of attenuation, and may be averaged in time.
See isoecho.
