Patent ID: 8907817

Claim:
A method of displaying areas of turbulent weather, comprising: processing data representative of weather; displaying weather conditions on a display; detecting turbulence; providing at least one first graphical element upon the display, wherein the first graphical element has a first size and a first location representing a size and a location of the turbulence at a first level, the first level being below a threshold; and providing at least one second graphical element upon the display, wherein the second graphical element has a second size and second location representing a size and a location of the turbulence at a second level, the second level being above the threshold, wherein the second size is determined using an inflation factor, wherein the inflation factor is related to a peak turbulence within a given radius, a filtered peak turbulence within a given radius, a density of turbulence at the second level, or a number of turbulence detections which exceed the threshold within a given radius.
