Digging deep in my notebooks, I've scribbled down a couple of formulae for wx radar in the past, but don't use them myself... can't remember who gave them to me either, or when, but it was at least 8 years ago!

Radar tilt for climb:

Rate of Climb (fpm)/Groundspeed x2 = 4 x tilt angle

Tilt angle against range;

Delta Alt (100's of feet)/ range (nm) = tilt angle

If anyone can explain these, I'd be grateful too! Me, I just play the wx radar by ear...

Good luck!
