1. A method of providing weather radar images to a flight crew of an aircraft, the method comprising:
- obtaining radar data corresponding to at least one signal reflected off of a weather system;
based on the radar data, computationally classifying the weather system as being of a first type of a plurality of weather-system types;
after classifying the weather system, image processing the radar data, the image processing yielding an image representing the weather system and corresponding to the first weather-system type; and
displaying the image on a display device.

Abstract
A method of providing weather radar images to a flight crew of an aircraft includes obtaining raw volumetric radar data corresponding to at least one signal reflected off of a weather system. Based on the radar data, the weather system is computationally classified as being of a first type of a plurality of weather-system types. After classifying the weather system, the radar data is image processed, the image processing yielding an image representing the weather system and corresponding to the first weather-system type. The image is displayed on a display device.
