Zusammenfassung:A system is described. The system connects an aircraft weather radar to a ground station. The ground station may include improved situational awareness regarding weather cells due to the connection to the aircraft weather radar. In particular, the situational awareness may be improved in areas not covered by ground weather radars. For example, the ground station may provide earlier rerouting to the aircraft around the weather cells. The aircraft may transmit data regarding the weather cells at an interval. The interval may be dynamically adjusted based on a number of factors to ensure adequate situational awareness while optimizing the resources of an air-to-ground communication link.
