摘要：	Hazardous weather conditions affect the National Airspace System (NAS) in many ways, including flight safety and system effectiveness. From a safety perspective, hazardous weather conditions contribute to aircraft accidents and fatalities (National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), 1999a; NTSB, 1999b). From an operational perspective, hazardous weather conditions are very costly. In 1995, weather related delays cost airlines $4.1 billion and costs are only increasing (Weather reports should be higher priority, 1995). In an effort to mitigate these effects, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is improving the availability of advanced weather information at select Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facilities. However, the bulk of this weather information is only available to traffic management and supervisors for strategic use. TRACON controllers do not have direct access to advanced weather products. They maintain their Weather Situation Awareness (WSA) by receiving weather briefings from the supervisor and by viewing precipitation levels on their workstation. In the present study, we systematically investigated advanced weather tools and their impact on tactical operations in the TRACON domain.
