[Skywarn] Forecasting Aviation Convective Impacts

[Lloyd Colston]

The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of the new lesson,
"Forecasting Aviation Convective Impacts with INSITE
<https://www.meted.ucar.edu/training_module.php?id=1314>" The National
Weather Service (NWS) has developed the INSITE tool (INtegrated Support for
Impacted air-Traffic Environments) to improve NWS convective impact
forecasts by providing functionality that enables forecasters to include
more precise impact areas in aviation convective weather forecast products.
The tool lets forecasters identify potential constraints to the National
Airspace System by combining forecast weather and air-traffic data.
Improved convective weather forecast products can reduce delays in
air-traffic and increase efficiency in the National Airspace System (NAS).
In this 45-minute lesson, we follow an approach for using INSITE from a
national and a regional-level perspective.

The intended audience for Forecasting Aviation Convective Impacts with
INSITE includes:

   -

   NWS forecasters at the Aviation Weather Center (AWC),
   -

   National Aviation Meteorologists (NAMs) at the FAA’s Air Traffic Control
   System Command Center (ATCSCC), and
   -

   Meteorologists at the 20 CONUS Center Weather Service Units (CWSUs)

The domain of the INSITE tool is currently limited to CONUS, the Great
Lakes, adjacent coastal waters, and nearby airspace to the north and south.

We welcome any comments or questions you may have regarding the content,
instructional approach, or use of this lesson. Please e-mail your comments
or questions to Alan Bol (alanbol AT ucar.edu). For technical support,
