ABSTRACT:
A method of detecting weather on an aircraft uses a weather radar system. The method adapts the weather radar system in accordance with a seasonal parameter, a time-of-day parameter, or a location parameter. The method includes determining the particular parameter and automatically adjusting the weather radar system to display the weather in response to the parameter. The system can be implemented in hardware or software and advantageously can more precisely predict and identify weather and/or weather hazards.
