Chapter 4 - Weather Display Interpretation
Typical Patterns
TWO CLUSTERS WITHIN 200 NMI
Figure 4-4 illustrates the 360° weather view at the 200 nmi range.
Using this knowledge, the two clusters of discharge points on the
screen can be interpreted as one thunderstorm cell at 5:30, about
150 nmi from the aircraft, and another cell at 1:00, about 100 nmi
from the aircraft. The cluster at 1:00 has less radial spread (in the
strike display mode) and fewer discharge points than the cluster at
5:30, indicating a lower rate of electrical activity. Both clusters must
be avoided.
