| The
primary WTWS product suite includes detection of terrain-induced turbulence,
terrain-induced windshear, convective microburst and windshear, gust fronts, precipitation
intensity and storm motion. It also predicts terrain-induced turbulence and airport
surface wind and guides mesoscale numerical weather prediction guidance. The graphical and
text formats are easily interpreted by pilots, controllers, air traffic managers and
aviation forecasters. The alerts use commonly accepted aeronautical navigation
terminology.

The
WTWS graphic display (above) delivers hazardous weather warning information and
other meteorological products. It shows the horizontal profile of various hazardous
weather areas, vertical wind profiles near the approach and departure corridors, and
textual warning messages. Video replay of the recent product history is possible. The
meteorological situation is displayed in several user-selectable ranges and levels
of detail. Critical products and important situation changes are highlighted visually on
the display and/or announced by audible signals.
