An Examination of Wind Shear Alert Integration at the Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport (DFW)

/ Fort Worth (DFW) is one of for Terminal Weather One of the primary the ITWS is a suite of algorithms that utilize data from the Temlinal Doppler Weather Radar (lDWR) to generate wind shear alerts. DFW also benefits from a Network Expansion of the Low-Level Wind Shear Advisory System (LL W AS-NE). The LL W AS-NE generated alerts are integrated with the radar-based alerts in ITWS to provide Air Traffic Control (ATC) with a comprehensive set of alert information. This study examines the integrated DFW wind shear alerts with emphasis on circumstances in which the detection performance of the TDWR-based wind shear algorithms was poor. Specific detection in the following wind shear events are aligned along TDWR, during shear events, when attenuation occurs precipitation over the site, and because TDWR clutter-residue airport. In all of the LL W AS-NE to ATC that would gone unreported.
