Issues for near Term Operational Use of Integrated Convective Weather - Atm Decision Support Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Thunderstorm-related delays dominate the overall U.S. airspace delay statistics and continue to increase (Figure 1), even though a number of new weather information systems and air traffic management (ATM) decision support tools have been deployed since 1999. The FAA is also concerned that anticipated increases in air traffic will result in much worse convective weather season delays by 2014 (Hughes, 2006).

Assessment and Interpretation of En Route Weather Avoidance Fields from the Convective Weather Avoidance Model
This paper presents the results of a study to quantify the performance of Weather Avoidance Fields in predicting the operational impact of convective weather on en route airspace. The Convective Weather Avoidance Model identifies regions of convective weather that pilots are likely to avoid based upon an examination of the planned and actual flight trajectories in regions of weather impact. Fro...
متن کاملTactical Weather Decision Support To Complement “ Strategic ” Traffic Flow Management for Convective Weather
Reducing delays due to thunderstorms has become a major objective of the FAA due to the recent growth in convective delays. In 2000 the key new initiative for reducing these convective weather delays was “strategic” traffic flow management (TFM) using collaborative weather forecasts and routing strategy development. This "strategic" approach experienced difficulties on a number of cases where i...
متن کاملCorridor Integrated Weather System
n Flight delays are now a major problem in the U.S. National Airspace System. A significant fraction of these delays are caused by reductions in en route capacity due to severe convective weather. The Corridor Integrated Weather System (CIWS) is a fully automated weather analysis and forecasting system designed to support the development and execution of convective weather impact mitigation pla...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Convective Weather Avoidance Model for Arrival Traffic
The effective management of traffic flows during convective weather events in congested air space requires decision support tools that can translate weather information into anticipated air traffic operational impact. In recent years, MIT Lincoln Laboratory has been maturing the Convective Weather Avoidance Model (CWAM) to correlate pilot behavior in the enroute airspace with observable weather...
متن کاملRoute Selection Decision Support in Convective Weather: a Case Study of the Effects of Weather and Operational Assumptions on Departure Throughput
This paper presents a detailed study of a convective weather event affecting the northeastern United States on 19 April 2002: its impacts on departure throughput, the response of traffic managers and an analysis of the potential effects of decision support on system performance. We compare actual departure throughput to what may have been achieved using the Route Availability Planning Tool (RAP...
