In radar meteorology, a characteristic pattern observed on RHI or THI displays caused by snow falling from an isolated region in space or a generating cell.

The shape of the trajectory depends on the wind speed at the altitude of origin of the snow, the fall speed of the snow, and the vertical profile of the ambient wind through which the snow falls.
