Abstract

An observation of a line type angel echo ahead of a line type of echo from strong convective clouds has been made by means of an X-band radar set at Agartala Airport. It was detected and kept under observation for about 40 minutes.  The angel echo moved with an apparent horizontal speed of 56 km/hr. The angel echo appeared prior to the arrival of the downdrafts of the thunderstorm.  The possible echo sources have been discussed.
