what is a common feature of many weather systems responsible for floods in north america?
heavy precipitation
weather systems such as weather radar (typically arinc 708 on commercial aircraft) and lightning detectors are important for aircraft flying at night or in instrument meteorological conditions, where it is not possible for pilots to see the weather ahead. heavy precipitation (as sensed by radar) or severe turbulence (as sensed by lightning activity) are both indications of strong convective activity and severe turbulence, and weather systems allow pilots to deviate around these areas.

another section was the "monthly weather log" which documented significant extratropical and tropical cyclone occurrences across the northern pacific and north atlantic oceans through the summer of 1995. through 1981, both a "rough log" and "smooth log" were included, with satellite images of weather systems being primarily included within the "rough log", and the "smooth log" providing an update concerning systems discussed in the "rough log" during the previous issue, which included delayed ship reports. by 1982, the log format was simplified, with a single log being included to cover the prior three-month period, which substantially shrank the size of the publication. starting in 1985, surface weather analyses began to be used on a more regular basis, taking the place of some of the many weather satellite images which were previously included. maps of cyclone tracks were included within the "marine weather review" section. within or just after the weather logs, a list of ship and weather buoy observations with winds greater than gale-force was published until 1995. summaries from weather ships were replaced with weather buoy summaries in january 1975.
