Abstract
A weather radar system with icing detection capability is disclosed. Increased radar system sensitivity is combined with aircraft outside air temperature to determine super-cooled liquid water content which leads to icing. The radar system can operate in a rainfall mode only, an icing mode only, or in both modes. Display modes include plan position indicator and range height indicator configurations.
