Method and systems for detection of hazard to aviation due to convective weather

摘要

Systems and methods for improving output of weather information. A weather radar system (40) receives weather reflectivity values. A processing device (42) stores the received weather reflectivity values into a three-dimensional buffer, calculates a sum of the reflectivity value stored in a column of cells within the three-dimensional buffer, and assigns a first hazard indication to the cells of the column when the result of the calculation is above a first threshold. A display device (44) generates a weather display based on data stored in the three-dimensional buffer. The weather display includes a display icon associated with the hazard indication when a cell from the three-dimensional buffer has been selected for the weather display.
