A proper time display format is essential for pilots to understand integrated meteorological radar information, thereby making informed flying decisions and steering clear of hazardous weather. Previous studies on time display format supported the advantages of digital format, while some studies found that analog clock format is superior to digital format. This study explored the effect of time display format on the cognitive performance of integrated meteorological radar information through two experiments. Experiment 1 first examined the effects of digital and analog clock displays on the timing of individual processing advance or delay changes in a general scenario. Then, Experiment 2 was conducted in a simulated flight scenario to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of digital and analog clock display in delay time processing with and without time pressure. The results showed the following: (1) Analog clock has more advantages than digital display format in processing the varying time difference. (2) Whether with or without time pressure, analog clock is more conducive to individual cognition of integrated meteorological radar information than digital time display. (3) The length of delay time is an important factor affecting individual time cognition, and it can also affect the cognition of radar information. The longer the delay time, the more difficult it is to identify the time and understand the information. These findings provide a certain reference for the design of the integrated meteorological radar information display interface.
合适的时间显示格式对于飞行员理解综合气象雷达信息至关重要，从而能做出明智的飞行决策并避开危险天气。以往关于时间显示格式的研究支持数字格式的优势，而一些研究则发现模拟时钟格式优于数字格式。本研究通过两个实验探讨了时间显示格式对综合气象雷达信息认知性能的影响。实验1首先在一般场景中检验了数字和模拟时钟显示对个体处理提前或延迟变化时机的影响。然后，实验2在模拟飞行场景中进行，以研究数字和模拟时钟显示在有和没有时间压力的情况下处理延迟时间的优缺点。结果如下：（1）在处理变化的时间差方面，模拟时钟比数字显示格式更具优势。（2）无论有无时间压力，模拟时钟比数字时间显示更有利于个体对综合气象雷达信息的认知。（3）延迟时间的长短是影响个体时间认知的重要因素，也会影响对雷达信息的认知。延迟时间越长，识别时间和理解信息就越困难。这些发现为综合气象雷达信息显示界面的设计提供了一定的参考。
