  1. Convective Weather IssuesMarilyn Wolfson, Convective PDT leadRoy Rasmussen, Convective PDT Alternate leadFPAW meeting, 19 Oct 2006Orlando

  2. Main issue: Large number of storm products confusing to users Examples of Aviation Storm Forecasts • Need single aviation storm forecast • Provide one framework for terminal, enroute and eventually oceanic • Use for NGATS 2012-2025 • Improve accuracy of convective forecasts faster • Use best technology from multiple organizations in one system • Improve ability to translate storm forecasts into ATC impact forecasts • Route impacts • Capacity loss • Usable airspace • Provide forecast uncertainty information • Needed to determine true risk of ATC impact

  3. Consolidated Storm Prediction for Aviation (CoSPA)Preliminary Design Review presented at NBAA on Tuesday, Oct. 17

  4. Purpose of the meeting: Present the Preliminary Design of CoSPA to the community for feedback and comment

  5. July 11-12 NGATS IOC meeting Initial Capability 2012 Scientific developments required (F) Consolidated Storm forecast system unified deterministic and probabilistic CONUS to local scale (Global in 2025) satisfy user needs (FAA,DOD, Etc.) utilize capabilities of entire convective community integrates models, statistical techniques, fuzzy techniques, and human input determine role for human input in forecast process . . . .

  6. When: Need a system ready for NGATS 2012 IOC (at least in an operational demonstration).

  7. Key Features of System • Due to the inherent difficulty of making 6 hour storm forecasts, the proposed system should be easily upgradeable as research progresses • Forecasts should be output to an easily accessible database at a high update rate and forecast frequency in order for users to easily access and tailor the forecast for specific user needs

  8. Consolidated Storm Prediction for Aviation (CoSPA)Preliminary Design Review presented at NBAA on Tuesday, Oct. 17 • Feedback from meeting: • Need to fit into network enabled infrastructure planned by the FAA and JPDO. • 4D database main output of system • 3. Coverage global by 2025

  9. Data Ingest

  10. Product Dissemination via Prototypes of NGATS 4D Database
