摘要: |
This report summarizes the preliminary results of a two-year study to determine if the Corridor Integrated Weather System (CIWS) concept would enable airspace users to increase safety and significantly reduce convective weather delays in the highly congested Great Lakes and Northeast corridors. The CIWS concept being evaluated provides en route and terminal air traffic flow managers with accurate, automated, rapidly updated information on storm locations and echo top heights along with two-hour, high resolution animated growth and decay storm forecasts. The CIWS test region for 2002-03 included five of the eight major metropolitan areas/corridors that are highlighted as focus areas for improving capacity in the recently released FAA Flight Plan 2004-08. |
