1. A method of displaying areas of turbulent weather, comprising:
- processing data representative of weather conditions within a predefined area;
displaying the weather conditions on a display;
detecting turbulence within the predefined area;
determining a level of the detected turbulence;
superimposing first graphical elements upon the display of weather conditions when the level of the detected turbulence is less than a predetermined amount; and
superimposing a second graphical element upon the display of weather conditions when the level of the detected turbulence is more than the predetermined amount.

Abstract
A method of displaying areas of turbulent weather is disclosed. Data is processed representative of weather conditions within a predefined area. Weather conditions are displayed on a display. Turbulence is detected within the predefined area. A level of the detected turbulence is detected. First graphical elements are superimposed upon the display of weather conditions when the level of the detected turbulence is less than a predetermined amount. A second graphical element is displayed upon the display of weather conditions when the level of the detected turbulence is more than the predetermined amount.
