WEATHER ANALYSIS

Elevation Weather Mode (ELEVN) provides

a means to assess storm cell height and development by providing

selectable altitude slices. These slices from the 3D memory are

corrected for the curvature of the earth, providing a view at a constant

altitude level.

Selecting ELEVN on the mode selection knob enters the Elevation

Mode. On initial selection, the altitude slice is set to the current aircraft

altitude (nearest 1,000 ft). The Elevation Selection Knob is used to

select the desired altitude slice from 0 to 60,000 ft in 1,000-foot

intervals. Off path weather information is removed in ELEVN mode to

enhance analysis of weather reflectivity. If the Hazard Display features

are enabled, turbulence will be shown in ELEVN mode. Otherwise,

turbulence is not shown in this mode.
