Abstract:
1. A method of displaying radar return data in a weather radar system of an aircraft, the method comprising: determining, via processing electronics, a target direction within a first display view, wherein the target direction intersects a first representation of a detected weather cell in the first display view; providing a vertical profile view including a second representation of the detected weather cell at a first time based on the target direction; determining, via the processing electronics, the motion of the aircraft between a first time and a later second time; calculating, via the processing electronics, an adjusted target direction based on the motion of the aircraft between the first time and the later second time for use in updating the vertical profile view, the adjusted target direction configured to keep at least a portion of the second representation of the detected weather cell within the vertical profile view at the later second time; and providing an image on an electronic display based at least in part on the radar return data, the image including the first representation of the detected weather cell in the first display view.
