What type of information does the Weather function of the Multi-Mode Radar System provide?

The Weather function of the Multi-Mode Radar System is specifically designed to detect and provide information regarding cloud formations and rainfall rates. This capability plays a crucial role in aviation safety and operational planning by allowing pilots and crew to assess weather conditions, identify turbulence, and navigate around severe weather phenomena. By analyzing the radar data, aircrew can gain valuable insights into the type and intensity of precipitation and the presence of potentially hazardous weather, which is essential for making informed decisions during flight.

The other functions mentioned in the choices relate to different operational data and not directly to weather detection; thus, they do not contribute to the weather assessment provided by the Multi-Mode Radar System.
