Abstract
The location of weather activity from a moving platform such as an aircraft is enhanced using triangulation in time. More particularly, a first measurement of the weather activity is made relative to the aircraft at a first time. A second measurement of the location of the weather activity is made from the aircraft at a second period in time. The first measurement is modified or updated to correct for the change in position of the aircraft between the first and second measurements and then the modified data is compared with the data of the second measurement to enhance the location of the weather activity.
