About the Project:
ADDS is a Web-based real-time aviation weather dissemination system
(http://adds.aviationweather.noaa.gov). ADDS
provides aviation decision-makers (pilots and dispatchers) with
easy to use real-time access to the latest operational
aviation weather observations and forecasts.
Users can view and retrieve aviation weather in a variety of formats
that they can tailor to fit their individual needs. The user can
view and print text products and pregenerated graphics products, or
interactively query the ADDS site by running Java applets.
ADDS developers rapidly release new and improved
aviation weather products to the aviation community by involving the end-user at
an early stage in the development cycle. User feedback from the ADDS Advanced User Group, the ADDS
Forum, and e-mail determines design decisions and product usability.
This means that end-users are involved in the requirements phase and
determine whether a product is useful by accessing it during the
experimental portion of the development cycle. The end-user
determines the needs and when they have been met.
The section worked jointly with the
National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)
and the Aviation Weather Center
to add functionality and support the ADDS Website. ADDS is funded through the
Requirements and Program Development Section
by the FAA Aviation Weather Research Program.
Work on this project will continue through the
Requirements and Program Development Section
