We present three-dimensional (3D) displays of meteorological radar echoes. We made surfaces of precipitating clouds specified by some echo intensity (dBZ) by the marching cubes method, which is a high-resolution 3D surface construction algorithm. Surfaces of radar echoes look like “real” surfaces of clouds and give a good insight into their 3D configuration.
