  2. AWRP Goals • Outcomes • Reduce Weather-Related Accidents & Incidents • Relieve Weather Impact on System Capacity & Efficiency • Outputs • Provide Capability via Applied Research to Generate Weather Observations, Warnings, and Forecasts with Higher Resolution & Accuracy • Improve Accessibility & Delivery of Weather Information FAA AWRP, AUA-430

  3. Focused Research Teams • Core Members • NCAR • NWS (NCEP: AWC, EMC) • NOAA (FSL, ETL, and NSSL) • MIT/LL • FAA WJ Hughes Tech Center • Universities • Extended Members • NASA Glenn/Langley/Ames ; DoD ; Airlines ; Port Authorities ; Cities • Weather Service Industry (CRDAs) • Aviation Trade Associations Meteorological Teams • In Flight Icing • Convective Weather • Turbulence • Ceiling & Visibility • Winter Weather Research • Model Development & Enhancement • NEXRAD Enhancements • Juneau Terrain-Induced Turbulence • Aviation Gridded Forecast System (AGFS) FAA AWRP, AUA-430

  5. Aviation Digital Data Service (ADDS)(AGFS PDT) • Web-based delivery mechanism • Located at and operated by the NWS Aviation Weather Center • Includes flight path vertical cross section data • Rave reviews by users • GA pilots: “Great site. Easy to use and navigate. Tax dollars for something really worthwhile. Keep up the good work.” “One of the best programmed, most smartly laid out, sights I have seen in a long time. The information is easily accessible and extremely useful. An unprecedented source of powerful, easily accessed weather information now in the hands of people who can benefit from it.” • FedEx pilot: “...this is the best aviation weather site I have access to. I especially like the flight planner mode. I have notified all my friends and have taken the liberty to load this site on the computers at work.” • Airline Dispatcher: “Ya'll must be in the genius category !! We use ADDS at work along with other cool stuff on the internet to back up our own system. the flight path tool is awesome ! I mean awesome...I can really use this kind of data on an hourly basis. Keep up the good work....are you sure ya'll work for the government ? Not what you'd expect from Uncle Sam....if you know what I mean. Fantastic !! FAA AWRP, AUA-430
