The idea of utilizing Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) radars for weather purposes had been advanced many times and in 1966, the National Weather Service (NWS) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began a joint-use program for collection of weather intelligence using radar monitored at the Salt Lake City ARTCC. The unqualified success of this program and the economy which it represented led to the establishment of similar operations at the Paldale, California center in 1968, the Albuquerque, New Mexico center in 1969, and the Seattle, Washington center in 1970. Twenty-one ARTC radars now being monitored by Weather Radar Specialists. This paper describes the operations and capabilities of the Albuquerque unit.
