Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-003393

A radar system installed on an aircraft to detect and display meteorological phenomena, primarily precipitation and turbulence, ahead of the aircraft. This technology assists pilots in navigating around hazardous weather conditions, such as thunderstorms and heavy rain. It operates by emitting microwave pulses and analyzing the reflected signals from hydrometeors.
