The turbulence function using doppler calculation has value only when a wet target is in range. WX mode alone is optimised for scanning ahead for precipitation and obstructions.

Also, some radars in T mode will lose level 4 indications on the WX display. (magenta)


Perhaps an actual guru can expand on my offering.
