It is very interesting to know that nowadays
majority of aircraft's fly a high altitude. But there are lots of clouding
too, in such high altitudes. So, how the aircraft manages to avoid or
penetrate such clouds. Here it is how.
Nowadays almost all the commercial aircraft are
fitted with Airborne Weather Radar
system.
It is basically a Primary Radar whose antenna is
fitted on the nose of aircraft and scans the forward area ahead of aircraft
track.
Weather Radar transmits pulses which are
reflected by the water droplets which are present on the clouds. The denser
the cloud, more will be the content of water droplets and hence more of the
transmitted pulses will be reflected back to the aircraft and the intensity
of reflected pulses will be displayed accordingly.
