1. A method of operating an airplane system on an airplane for a turbulence analysis system, the method comprising:

  • receiving satellite signals from a plurality of satellites into the airplane system on the airplane;

    processing the satellite signals in the airplane system on the airplane to determine time variance metrics for the satellite signals, wherein the time variance metrics correspond to variances in signal transfer times for the individual ones of the satellite signals;

    transferring the time variance metrics for the satellite signals from the airplane system on the airplane, wherein the time variance metrics are received by the turbulence analysis system;

    receiving at least a portion of a turbulence map into the airplane system on the airplane, wherein the turbulence map is generated by the turbulence analysis system based on the time variance metrics and indicates atmospheric turbulence in a three-dimensional area; and

    displaying the portion of the turbulence map in the airplane system on the airplane.
