ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for conveying turbulence hazards to a flight crew. An exemplary weather radar system includes a three-dimensional buffer, a processor, and a display. The processor receives weather radar reflectivity values, stores the received weather radar reflectivity values into a three-dimensional buffer, generates and stores turbulence values into cells of the three-dimensional buffer based on the stored respective reflectivity values, and generates first display icons for cells that are located within a predefined threshold distance from a cell in the three-dimensional buffer that has been determined to include a turbulence value that is greater than a first threshold value. The display presents the first display icons when associated cells are selected for display from the three-dimensional buffer.
