EcceHomo Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Hello everyone I see weather maping in AV-8B+`s APG-65. So will the F-18C radar have this mode? “Radar Weather Mapping. The MAP Mode is the best radar display for detecting particularly nasty weather. Sometimes, weather detection is hampered by ground returns in the area that hides the storm. Most often, this occurs in mountainous areas where ground returns are similar and the air mass lifting action in the area breeds the cells. For these reasons, any opportunity to raise the beam above the ground or marrow the beam or both are techniques that will speed weather detection. Thus, antenna elevation and beam selection are two factors the pilot can use to optimize the radar for weather mapping.”
