The Rapid-Update-Cycle (RUC) and Rapid Refresh (RAP) weather products provide a valuable source of data for evaluating environmental winds in the aviation domain. This paper identifies techniques for wind analysis, including interpolation techniques and patterns for distributed computation. These techniques are useful in a number of aviation applications, a subset of which are described: New instrument procedure designs benefit from historical 5-year wind profiles. Wind characterization and visualization techniques facilitate the selection of representative environmental conditions for simulations. Wind forecasts are uplinked in real-time to support trajectory-based operations. These applications leverage the RUC and RAP weather products to provide valuable technical insights. The paper concludes with areas for future research.
