چکیده
1. a robust real time communications system exists that can support the dissemination and usage of the forecasts, 2. the users have the ability to take actions in a short time period that will reduce the adverse impact of the weather, 3. there is an urgent user need for improved forecast capability, and 4. it is possible to provide training on how to effectively interpret and employ forecast information.

Using Entropic Tilting to Combine BVAR Forecasts with External Nowcasts∗
This paper shows entropic tilting to be a flexible and powerful tool for combining mediumterm forecasts from BVARs with short-term forecasts from other sources (nowcasts from either surveys or other models). Tilting systematically improves the accuracy of both point and density forecasts, and tilting the BVAR forecasts based on nowcast means and variances yields slightly greater gains in densit...
متن کاملData Analysis and Modeling to Support NOWCAST and Forecast Activities at the Fallon Naval Air Station
The main objectives of the study are: 1) To develop and test a mesoscale forecasting system with subkilometer horizontal resolution to support the NOWCAST system at the Fallon Naval Air Station (NAS); 2) To improve the accuracy of the forecasts and nowcasts by assimilating asynchronous data into the forecasting system; 3) To provide short-term predictions of cloud structure that are essential t...
متن کاملA “demand Pull” Approach to Short Term Forecast Development and Testing
Product development can be motivated by “demand pull” from user needs or by “technology push” from research. Historically, new aviation weather forecasts have been motivated by “technology push” considerations, in which better scientific validation results were the principal criterion for the forecast “goodness”. For example, one might demonstrate that the forecast had a higher probability of d...
متن کاملQuantifying Convective Delay Reduction Benefits for Weather / Atm Systems
This paper investigates methods for quantifying convective weather delay reduction benefits for weather/ATM systems and recommends approaches for future assessments. This topic is particularly important at this time because: 1. Convective weather delays continue to be a dominant factor in the overall National Airspace System (NAS) delays, and 2. Benefits quantification and NAS performance asses...
متن کاملQuantifying Delay Reduction Benefits for Aviation Convective Weather Decision Support Systems*
Benefits quantification and NAS performance assessment have become very important topics for the aviation weather community. In an era of significant federal government and airline budget austerity for civil aviation investments, it is essential to quantitatively demonstrate delay reduction benefits of improved weather decision support systems. Major FAA initiatives stress the importance of qua...
