SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO & CNS Hazard Avoidance NEXRAD WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated weather product age. NOTE: The NEXRAD weather product cannot be displayed at the same time as terrain, echo tops, turbulence, or icing data. The National Weather Service (NWS) operates the WSR-88D, or NEXRAD (NEXt-generation RADar) system, an extensive network of 156 high-resolution Doppler radar systems. The NEXRAD network provides centralized meteorological information for the continental United States and selected overseas locations. The maximum range of a single NEXRAD site is 250 nm. Individual NEXRAD sites supply the network with radar images, and the images from each site may arrive at the network at different rates and times. Periodically, the weather data provider compiles the available individual site images from the network to form a composite image, and assigns a single time to indicate when it created the image. This image becomes the NEXRAD weather product. Individual images--gathered from each NEXRAD site--differ in age, and are always older than the displayed NEXRAD weather product age. The data provider then sends the NEXRAD data to the SiriusXM Weather service, whose satellites transmit this information during the next designated broadcast time for the NEXRAD weather product. Because of the time required to detect, assemble, and distribute the NEXRAD weather product, the displayed weather information contained within the product may be significantly older than the current radar synopsis and may not depict the current weather conditions. The NEXRAD weather product should never be used as a basis for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous weather regardless of the information it contains.

WARNING:

Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather

information shown by the data link weather product.

Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing

weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product

may be signiﬁcantly older than the indicated weather product age.

NOTE:

The NEXRAD weather product cannot be displayed at the same time as terrain, echo tops, turbulence,

or icing data.

The National Weather Service (NWS) operates the WSR-88D, or NEXRAD (NEXt-generation RADar)

system, an extensive network of 156 high-resolution Doppler radar systems.

The NEXRAD network provides

centralized meteorological information for the continental United States and selected overseas locations.

The

maximum range of a single NEXRAD site is 250 nm.

Individual NEXRAD sites supply the network with radar images, and the images from each site may arrive

at the network at different rates and times.

Periodically, the weather data provider compiles the available

individual site images from the network to form a composite image, and assigns a single time to indicate when

it created the image.

This image becomes the NEXRAD weather product.

Individual images--gathered from

each NEXRAD site--differ in age, and are always older than the displayed NEXRAD weather product age.

The

data provider then sends the NEXRAD data to the SiriusXM Weather service, whose satellites transmit this

information during the next designated broadcast time for the NEXRAD weather product.

Because of the time required to detect, assemble, and distribute the NEXRAD weather product, the displayed

weather information contained within the product may be signiﬁcantly older than the current radar synopsis

and may not depict the current weather conditions.

The NEXRAD weather product should never be used as a

basis for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous weather regardless of the information it contains.
