What would it need, and what can it handle? It's relatively easy to pass a list of cloudlet coordinates to any system who wants it - but that means since O(5000) cloudlets can be in the scenery, that the radar should be able to handle that number - if it creates a dot per coordinate pair, then that could be a bit much to ask... On the other hand, it is in principle possible to create a meta-description of what is created inside the cloud-generating algorithm - but then I'd need to know what the weather radar likes to know in order to show something useful.
