The Real-Time Weather Processor (RWP) is a data processing subsystem that will provide hazardous and operationally significant weather information for use by National Weather Service (NWS) Center Weather Service Unit (CWSU) meteorologists, Air Traffic Control Specialists (ATCSs), pilot, and other users. The results of the user evaluation portion of the Prototype Test and Evaluation (PT and E) of the RWP Prototype are detailed. The user evaluation was conducted at JPL during the month of July. Both NWS CWSU meteorologists and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) system maintainers participated in the evaluation. The results of the evaluation showed that overall, the system was rated as acceptable but that there were areas that require improvement; i.e., complex man-machine interface, system response too slow, and problems with the direct command language (DCL). The evaluation results were presented to the RWP Program Office for consideration.
