摘要: The effects of weather on the nations surface transportation systems touch our lives every day. In 1998, a federal interagency committee identified the weather information needs of surface transportation sectors (including ground and marine transportation systems) as a priority for coordinated action. In response, the Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorological Services and Supporting Research undertook a study of existing and potential needs for weather information for surface transportation (WIST). This report provides a compilation of weather information needs across the six surface transportation sectors--roadway, railway, transit, marine transportation, pipeline systems, and airport ground operations--and an analysis of these needs. Its purposes are first, to make the compiled needs accessible to the many audiences with an interest in WIST, and second, to suggest next steps in a coordinated WIST initiative. To achieve the second purpose, the report draws some general conclusions about WIST needs that cut across the six transportation sectors included in the study. It relates these conclusions to overarching themes present in the current transportation environment (Chapter 1) and confirmed by the compiled WIST user needs. The findings in the report provide a framework for actions to substantially improve surface transportation operations in the future.
