Problem the AI is intended to solve

The AI/ML tool helps detect and predict where precipitation currently is and where it will be at the future at various altitudes in parts of the NAS that do not have traditional ground based weather radar. Benefits are better weather dectection and avoid

Expected benefits

Not reported

System outputs

The output of the system is meant to simulate weather radar where cooler colors (blues and greens) correspond to light precip where hotter colors (yellow, oranges and red) indicate heavy precip and/or more intense precipitation. A similar process is down
