Abstract
Method, system, apparatus, and computer program product for displaying weather data on a computer display screen. Weather data for use in a flight of an aircraft is received. The weather data is updated at a first rate. The weather data is separated into weather data layers for a plurality of ranges of altitude. Each weather data layer corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of ranges of altitude, and the weather data is separated at the first rate. Embodiments monitor for a selection of at least one of the weather data layers. The monitoring is performed periodically at a second rate, and the second rate is faster than the first rate. Weather data in the selected at least one of the weather data layers is prepared for display and the weather data is output for display on a display screen in the aircraft.
