1. A method that prepares ground-based supplemental weather radar information for integration with onboard weather radar information, the method comprising:

  • receiving ground-based weather radar information from a ground-based weather radar station, the ground-based weather radar information referenced in a first coordinate system, wherein the first coordinate system is a polar coordinate system referenced to a location of the ground-based weather radar station;

    converting the received ground-based weather radar information in the first coordinate system to ground-based weather radar information referenced in a second coordinate system, wherein the second coordinate system is different from the first coordinate system, and wherein the second coordinate system is based upon at least earth-based latitude and longitude;

    generating supplemental weather radar information from the received ground-based weather radar information, wherein the supplemental weather radar information is referenced to the second coordinate system; and

    communicating the supplemental weather radar information, wherein the communicated supplemental weather radar information is integrated with weather radar information of an onboard weather radar system of an installation vehicle.
