NAS OPERATIONS: WX/ATM INTEGRATION
All airspace is not created equal Up to 50% of Ground
Stop/GDPs are at a NYC airport
1/3 of all US flights are directly affected by NYC/PHL delays
Pre-DOT rule, vast majority of 3-hour tarmac delays departing NYC airports
“One-size-fits-all” products are less effective for NYC ops

COLLABORATIVE DECISION MAKING
Mission: Evolve the CCFP concept Keep up with the state
of forecast science Incorporate new tech Flexible and tailored to
NAS constraints: focus resources, maximize efficacy

GROUND OPS/INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNINGA CURRENT GAP
De-icing/anti-icing – holdover/allowance time Currently based on P-type, intensity Often difficult to forecast/plan
Gap in forecasting beyond 2 hours TAF format restricts expressing forecast for low-
probability/high impact events (FZRA, ice pellets etc.)

The weather community succeeds when connected to its customers Forecasts built around
the needs of the user ...but flexible to evolve
with those needs Lessons from the ATM
world apply outside the field as well
