Sponsored by National Business Aviation Association and the National Center for Atmosopheric Research
July 22, 2009
The Goal of this meeting is for the JPDO Weather Working Group (WWG) and Agencies to share with the broader aviation-weather community of interest the status of “NextGen Weather”.
The aviation-weather community of interest will have an opportunity to provide feedback to the JPDO Weather Working Group and Agencies on the overall plans and activities for transforming how the Air Traffic Management (ATM) and Weather communities work together to mitigate the impacts of weather in the NAS.
The scope of this Vision meeting is the medium and long term R & D and implementation of ATM-Weather operational solutions. Short-term (12-36 months) operational issues and the resultant solutions are the scope of the 9 October, 2008 FPAW forum at NBAA in Orlando.
