The other scale (near left) represents dBZ values when the radar is in precipitation mode (dBZ values from 5 to 75). One scale (far left) represents dBZ values when the radar is in clear air mode (dBZ values from -28 to +28).

Each reflectivity image you see includes one of two color scales. The dBZ values increase as the strength of the signal returned to the radar increases.

So, a more convenient number for calculations and comparison, a decibel (or logarithmic) scale (dBZ), is used. Reflectivity (designated by the letter Z) covers a wide range of signals (from very weak to very strong). 'Reflectivity' is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver.
