AWE: aviation weather data visualization environment
The two official sources for aviation weather reports both provide weather information to a pilot in a textual format. A number of systems have recently become available to help pilots with the visualization task by providing much of the data graphically. However, two types of aviation weather data are still not being presented graphically. These are airport-specific current weather reports (kn...
متن کاملAWE: Aviation Weather Data Visualization
The two official sources for aviation weather reports both require the pilot to mentally visualize the provided information. In contrast, our system, Aviation Weather Environment (AWE) presents aviation specific weather available to pilots in an easy to visualize form. We start with a computer-generated textual briefing for a specific area. We map this briefing onto a grid specific to the pilot...
متن کاملSkyScope: An Aviation Weather Visualization Tool
It is critically important that pilots of small aircraft fully understand weather conditions in order to plan a safe flight. Many such pilots fly by visual reference to the ground and cannot enter clouds. Online weather data is available to assist pilots with planning flights in order to avoid poor conditions. However, this data is provided in an extremely terse and cryptic format. The reports ...
متن کاملImproving Weather Radar Data Quality for Aviation Weather Needs*
A fundamental function of any aviation weather system is to provide accurate and timely weather information tailored to the specific air traffic situations for which a system is designed. Weather location and intensity are of prime importance to such systems. Knowledge of the weather provides “nowcasting” functionality in the terminal and en route air spaces. It also is used as input into aviat...
متن کاملAudio-visual situational awareness for general aviation pilots
Weather is one of the major causes of general aviation accidents. Researchers are addressing this problem from various perspectives including improving meteorological forecasting techniques, collecting additional weather data automatically via on-board sensors and "flight" modems, and improving weather data dissemination and presentation. We approach the problem from the improved presentation p...
