  2. Great Lakes Flight Experiment

  3. GLFE Status • Start date 1/15/2005 • As of 8/24, ~3.7 M observations • 63 aircraft equipped • Changes in observation intervals • Fall & Winter seasons • Targets of opportunity

  4. Current / Planned Activities • GLFE / GLOE • Memphis Deployment • Turbulence Flights • TAMDAR Symposium • Final Reports : • CIMSS, NCAR, & FSL CIMMS Aeribago

  5. GLFE Extension • FAA FISDL funding • “Great Lakes Operational Evaluation” • Continuation of GLFE • Four new Weather studies: • Current Icing Potential • Convective Precipitation • Precipitation Forecast Model Skill • Surface Temperature Model Skill

  6. TAMDAR Schedule • 01/05 – Initiate GLFE • 03/05 – Status Meeting • 03/05 – CIMSS Memphis Deployment • 05/05 – CIMSS Second Deployment • 06/05 – UND Turbulence flights • 07/05 – GLFE ends, GLOE begin • 08/05 – Status Meeting • 09/05 – WxAP Annual Review • 01/06 – GLOE ends • 01/06 – AMS Annual Meeting • 03/06 – FSL Final Report

  7. Future NASA Plans

  8. Future Efforts • Development and evaluation of TAMDAR-derived uplinked weather products for flight deck display • Human Factors / cockpit display studies • Pilot utilization • FAA certification for flight deck display of own-ship turbulence and icing • FAA Collaborations • FISDL, AWRP, SF21, Tech Center • New / updated aviation wx products • Development and demonstration flights of HAZMETs via FISDL and/or Safe Flight 21 datalinks • TAMDAR on UAVs • Icing-only sensor

  9. Future Efforts • Development and evaluation electronic PIREPS (derived from TAMDAR data) for GA pilots • Integration of TAMDAR with other systems for regional aircraft, evaluation, flight testing, certification • Development of FSS user requirements • Evaluation of Electronic PIREPS disseminated to flight service stations and weather briefers • TAMDAR-derived data display issues and collaborative weather decision making • Development of regional aviation weather products from mesoscale models that feature reduced grid spacing and cycle time (ingest TAMDAR data) at AWC • Evaluation of products at AWC on N-AWIPS
