About the Project:
The ETMS is a real-time aircraft tracking system being used
operationally by all FAA air traffic control personnel to direct
aircraft flow in the United States NAS. Goals of the ETMS are to
maintain save airways, help minimize delays, and conserve energy.
Weather plays a key role in all three of these areas. The section
has developed and operationally deployed the Aviation Weather
Network, designed to add real-time weather information to the ETMS
for display on the Traffic Situation Display and provide automation
support for strategic planning of the National Airspace
Northern Hemisphere Jet Stream product
Work continues with the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center
in integrating new aviation-tailored weather products on to the
Aircraft Situation Display and upgrading the Aviation Weather
Network to handle the latest improvements to the Rapid Update Cycle
(RUC) gridded datasets. The RUC grids are used to create displays
for the Traffic Situation Display and provide automation support for
strategic planning of the National Airspace System.
Northern Hemisphere Winds Aloft product
Work will continue pending future project funding.
