Displaying weather information corresponding to a selected region

A method comprising:

• outputting, by processing circuitry for display by a touchscreen, a two-dimensional overhead profile of weather proximate to an ownship vehicle;
• receiving, by the processing circuitry from the touchscreen, an indication of a selected region of the weather proximate to the ownship vehicle;
• determining, by the processing circuitry based on three-dimensional radar data stored in a memory, additional information corresponding to the selected region of the weather, the three-dimensional radar data indicating weather proximate to the ownship vehicle;
• outputting, by the processing circuitry for display by the touchscreen, the two-dimensional overhead profile of the weather overlaid with an indication of the additional information about the selected region;
• receiving, from the touchscreen, a selection of a proposed flight path;
• determining, based on the three-dimensional radar data and the proposed flight path, a two-dimensional vertical side profile of the weather along the proposed flight path;
• and
• outputting an indication of the proposed flight path over the two-dimensional vertical side profile of the weather for display by the touchscreen.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions for causing one or more processors to:

• output, for display by a touchscreen, a two-dimensional overhead profile of weather proximate to an ownship vehicle;
• receive, from the touchscreen, an indication of a selected region of the weather proximate to the ownship vehicle;
• determine, based on three-dimensional radar data stored in a memory, additional information corresponding to the selected region of the weather, the three-dimensional radar data indicating weather proximate to the ownship vehicle;
• output, for display by the touchscreen, the two-dimensional overhead profile of the weather overlaid with an indication of the additional information about the selected region;
• receive, from the touchscreen, a selection of a proposed flight path;
• determine, based on the three-dimensional radar data and the proposed flight path, a two-dimensional vertical side profile of the weather along the proposed flight path;
• and
• output an indication of the proposed flight path over the two-dimensional vertical side profile of the weather for display by the touchscreen.
