Day 2: Afternoon Transportation Briefing

As part of the first week of the 2013 Winter Weather Experiment, the Aviation Weather Testbed is working with the HPC Winter Experiment to produce a collaborative transportation briefing.
In addition to collaboration with the HPC, this forecast was also produced with collaborations involving NWS WFO forecasters and the experimental Global Graphics forecasting desk that is part of the experiment.

One of the AWC National Aviation Meteorologists (stationed at the FAA System Command Center) is participating in the HPC Experiment this week and is focusing on communicating precipitation types and timing.  The graphic below was produced by an AWC forecaster in Kansas City and focuses on the icing, turbulence, and IFR conditions associated with a system that is forecast to impact the east coast on Feb 14-15.

One of the automated tools that is available to forecasters and air traffic planners is the Aviation Winter Weather Dashboard.  The dashboard translates winter weather as forecast by the SREF into terminal impacts based on how well the airport can handle certain winter weather events.  Below is a snapshot of the dashboard showing terminal impacts in the northeast as forecast by the 09Z SREF on 12 February.
