Re: Predictive windshear avoidance
Thanks everyone for taking the time to provide answers and to share your knowledge.
Still not getting how excactly it (the radar) works though, sounds like I was correct in saying that it uses the radar to determine doppler shift on precipitation returns? But how does it sense wind direction and velocity ahead of the airplane? (horizontal head/tail) What is it painting? As it is true your not always going to have rain with windshear.
As for my question regarding the beam itself, I understand it is x wave and is transmited as a frequency signal is in watts. But how is the power generated?
Thanks again.
