Development of Dual Polarization Aviation Weather Products for the Faa*
In the United States, the WSR-88D (NEXRAD) Doppler weather radar network will be upgraded with a dual polarization capability (Istok et al., 2009) beginning in late 2010. This will allow for type characterization of bulk scatterers (hydrometeor classification) in addition to the standard radar moments. Knowing which scatterers dominate a radar return offers physical insight into underlying atmo...
متن کاملAWE: Aviation Weather Data Visualization
The two official sources for aviation weather reports both require the pilot to mentally visualize the provided information. In contrast, our system, Aviation Weather Environment (AWE) presents aviation specific weather available to pilots in an easy to visualize form. We start with a computer-generated textual briefing for a specific area. We map this briefing onto a grid specific to the pilot...
متن کاملAstrometeorological Weather Prediction at the Time of the Societas Meteorological Palatina
Astrometeorology was based on the idea that the position of the planets in relation to each other and to the signs of the zodiac would influence terrestrial weather. Due to this astronomers were asked to prepare “prognosticas“ (weather predictions), which required comprehensive mathematical and astronomical knowledge. Astrometeorology had its heyday during the 16th century, when 213 authors dem...
متن کاملImproving Weather Radar Data Quality for Aviation Weather Needs*
A fundamental function of any aviation weather system is to provide accurate and timely weather information tailored to the specific air traffic situations for which a system is designed. Weather location and intensity are of prime importance to such systems. Knowledge of the weather provides “nowcasting” functionality in the terminal and en route air spaces. It also is used as input into aviat...
متن کاملAWE: aviation weather data visualization environment
The two official sources for aviation weather reports both provide weather information to a pilot in a textual format. A number of systems have recently become available to help pilots with the visualization task by providing much of the data graphically. However, two types of aviation weather data are still not being presented graphically. These are airport-specific current weather reports (kn...
