ABSTRACT:
A directed sequential hazard assessment weather radar system detects weather and hazards with low latency and high confidence in a hazard detection mode to detect a region of reflectivity and changes to an assessment mode after detecting the region of reflectivity. The weather radar system scans a volume in front of an aircraft to detect the region of reflectivity in the hazard detection mode using a multiscan process and a reflectivity pulse pattern. The weather radar system determines presence of a hazard in the region of reflectivity after detecting the region. The weather radar system changes to a turbulence pulse pattern in the assessment mode and scans the region of reflectivity with an auxiliary sweep to determine turbulence. The directed sequential hazard assessment weather radar system performs a qualification process by scheduling an additional radar scanning auxiliary sweep to determine if the turbulence is real.
