📄📄 --- DOCUMENTATION --- 📄📄

For a more detailed view on weather radar systems and how to recognize various patterns that are portrayed in real world weather radar images, check out some of the documentation that I used for this video. Keep in mind that in the real world a much larger diversity of weather systems are present which generate characteristic shapes on the weather radar image. In flight simulation, not all of that is possible.
