R
650 Weather Radar System is an X--band radar
designed for weather detection and analysis. The EHSI and MFD
display storm intensity levels in bright colors on a black background.
Areas of very heavy rainfall are displayed in magenta, heavy rainfall in
red, less severe rainfall in yellow, moderate rainfall in green, and little
or no rainfall in black (background). After proper evaluation, the crew
can chart a course around these storm areas.
The radar can also be used for ground mapping. In the ground mapping
mode, the radar displays prominent landmarks that the crew can use
to identify coastline, hilly or mountainous regions, cities, or large
structures. The reflected signals from various ground surfaces are
displayed as magenta, yellow,orcyan (most to least reflective).
