Stormscope
The Calm BEFORE the Storm
Stormscope Weather Mapping Systems were the first airborne instruments
developed specifically to detect and map thunderstorms by analyzing the
radiated signals of electrical discharges from storm cells. During the
cumulus stage of a thunderstorm, storm cells are usually
precipitation-free, and weather radar is unable to show activity.
Stormscope, by detecting the electrical activity already present as the
storm builds, provides an accurate view of areas that should be avoided.
Stormscope processes both azimuth and range to determine the location
and intensity of dangerous thunderstorm cells – then presents the
findings in real-time.

WX-1000
Series
Designed for the demands of high-performance aircraft. Flexible and
upgradeable to interface with many GPS/Lorans and EFIS. The WX-1000
Stormscope® can also be integrated with the SkyWatch® Traffic Advisory
System allowing both traffic and lightning to share the same display.
WX-950
A stand-alone Stormscope® display that features a crisp CRT display and
input for heading stabilization. The WX-950
also incorporates the popular feature for pilot selection of cell or
strike mode for displaying lighting information.
WX-500
Weather mapping sensor that's as flexible as it is popular. The WX-500
integrates with most MFDs on the market today. It features heading
stabilized lightning data, 200 nmi range, and pilot selections for cell
or strike mode.
