The report summarizes the National Convective Weather Forecast (NCWF) 1999 Assessment conducted by ACT-320 at Comair and Delta Airlines from April through November 1999. The NCWF, developed by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), combines radar information along with lightning data to produce a graphical convective detection field as well as 1- and 2-hour forecasts of convective weather. Feedback was collected from airline dispatchers and focused on the value, preceived benefit, and performance of the NCWF for airline dispatch use. The assessment demonstrated the utility of the NCWF for airline dispatch operations. However, further development should concentrate on improved accuracy of the forecasts. In addition, convective growth and decay capabilities should be incorporated.
