Abstract
A radar system identifies the presence of moderate intensity icing based on a single pulse reflectivity versus ice water content relationship. The radar then identifies convective cores in proximity to the aircraft and records features of those convective cores. Convection information, including storm tops, temperature, and cell topology, is used to indicate the presence of severe icing. A trained neural network may relate the various data to make a high intensity icing determination.
