PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for displaying radar-measured turbulence intensity on a vertical display. SOLUTION: Weather radar detecting system and method are operable to display a vertical view (602) of intensities of turbulence regions (112, 114, and 116). An exemplary embodiment has a radar (210) operable to detect turbulence, a processing system (212) operable to determine location and intensity of the detected turbulence, a three dimensional (3-D) weather information database (236) comprising a plurality of voxels that are associated with a unique geographic location with respect to the aircraft (104), wherein the information corresponding to the turbulence intensity is stored, and a display (222) operable to display the vertical view of a selected vertical slice (306), wherein the vertical view (602) displays the determined turbulence intensity and the determined location of the turbulence.
