The Terminal Convective Weather Forecast (TCWF) 2000 Demonstration was conducted during the convective season at Air Traffic Control (ATC) facilities in Memphis, TN. The demonstration was conducted by ACB-630 to ascertain the TCWF overall utility, ease of use, readability, and perceived benefit to ATC tasking. TCWF was developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory (MIT/LL) under FAA Aviation Weather Research Program funding. The product provides a graphical 0 to 60-minute forecast of convective weather for an airport terminal area. Results indicated overall positive impressions Users reported the TCWF provided benefit in performing ATC tasks; was a beneficial supplement to the Integrated Terminal Weather System (ITWS); and enhanced situational awareness.
