  1. Weather Information: A Paradigm Shift Paul Fontaine, Director Advanced Concepts & Technology Development Office August 8, 2012

  2. Paradigm Shift • “Build it [weather information] and they will come.” • “Understand the impact of weather on NAS Operations and operational decisions, then build supporting weather information. • The shift to the latter requires: • Researching operational decision making • Assessing the operational impact of weather phenomena • Developing the required weather information • Integrating weather information into decision support processes, both manual and automated

  3. Which Operational Decisions? • How do we prioritize operational decisions? • Reliable, near-term and measurable operational improvements • Support for and keyed to other NextGen improvements • Example: Improved Airport Arrival Rate (AAR) decision support in wind compression events • Data shows major potential benefits in New York Metro • Requires a couple of things to happen at once • Maturation of metering and spacing tools • Improved (if needed) wind profiles in terminal airspace

  4. Tools and Discipline to Pick Winning Ideas • Data-driven service analyses to determine magnitude of impacts • Validated Concept of Operations • Development/utilization of modeling, simulation, and demonstrations • Aviation stakeholder support

  5. Where do winning ideas come from? • Operational decision makers • Controllers • Dispatchers • Pilots • Operations Research • Weather and operations • Modeling • Simulations • Demonstrations

  6. How can you have input? • Data driven problem analysis • Provide ideas at the front end with solid data on operational incidence and impact. • Participating in demonstrations to: • Validate Concept of Operations • Validate requirements • Assess workability and utility of integrated solutions
