| 摘要： | One of the duties of the National Weather Service (NWS) aviation meteorologist is to issue Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAF) for utilization by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). TAFs are a time and site specific 24 h forecast used by both commercial and general aviators for planning purposes. However, the stringent TAF format frequently hampers the NWS forecaster from clearly conveying a detailed scenario during rapidly changing weather. Consequently, an open line of communication between the Weather Forecast Office (WFO) and the FAA is of utmost importance to effectively reduce the impact of adverse weather on aviation. This is essential at pacing airports--hubs--where a domino effect can have implications on the National Airspace System (NAS). Such a scenario occurred on the evening 09 July 2004 when microburst winds disrupted air traffic at the height of the arrival sequence at the Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC). Based on the confidence of a verbal WFO update, the FAA initiated a strategic plan to mitigate the effects of the microburst winds on air traffic operations. This proactive response was well orchestrated leading to efficient use of airspace and flow management in an otherwise potentially dangerous situation. |
