1. An aircraft hazard warning system, comprising:

  • a processing system configured to determine a vertically integrated liquid (VIL) parameter, the processing system configured to receive radar reflectivity data associated with an aircraft radar antenna, the processing system configured to determine the VIL parameter by determining a first reflectivity value at a first altitude and a second reflectivity value at a second altitude in response to the radar reflectivity data, the processing system configured to determine the VIL parameter using a base storm altitude and a top storm altitude, wherein the VIL parameter is calculated using values for the first altitude and second altitude.
