Book excerpt: "The RAWS network and RAWS data-use systems are closely reviewed and summarized in this report. RAWS is an active program created by the many land-management agencies that share a common need for accurate and timely weather data from remote locations for vital operational and program decisions specific to wildland and prescribed fires. A RAWS measures basic observable weather parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and precipitation as well as "fuel stick" temperature. Data from almost 1,900 stations deployed across the conterminous United States, Alaska, and Hawaii are now routinely used to calculate and forecast daily fire danger indices, components, and adjective ratings. Fire business applications include the National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS), fire behavior, and fire use. Findings point to the fact that although the RAWS program works and provides needed weather data in support of fire operations, there are inefficiencies and significant problem areas that require leadership attention at the National level."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A microprocessor-based automated airfield weather observing and forecasting system called MAWS (Modular Automated Weather System) was developed to demonstrate the feasibility of modernizing many of the observing and forecasting functions performed in operational base weather stations. Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, was chosen as the demonstration site and operations were conducted from January 1977 through January 1979. Weather sensors at five observation sites around the airfields were polled several times each minute, the data transmitted over commercial, voice-grade telephone lines to a central supervisory microprocessor where the data were suitably collated, averaged and formatted for display on alpha-numeric display devices at key locations and for magnetic tape archiving for post analysis. The demonstration confirmed that modernized weather support can be largely achieved with state-of-the-art, commercially available hardware/software. Such a system would be compatible with other automation efforts in civilian weather services and other C-cubed efforts in the DOD. The advantage of spatially and temporally detailed weather information in marginal and adverse situations was documented. Sensor siting considerations were addressed in relation to specific weather elements and observational requirements. The contributions of automated met watch procedures and short-range guidance forecasts of RVR landing minima were demonstrated. Feedback on system performance and acceptability was obtained from cognizant AWS offices.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised and updated, this new edition features full coverage of weather-related tools to assist every pilot’s flight planning and in-flight decisions. The reference thoroughly explains the many aviation weather products and services available to pilots and details the interpretation and application of advisories, coded weather reports, forecasts, observed and prognostic weather charts, and radar and satellite imagery. Weather product examples and explanations are taken primarily from the Aviation Weather Center’s Aviation Digital Data Service website. Including weather station location tables, lists of contractions and acronyms, weather symbols, conversion charts, internet links, and more, this greatly expanded and full-color edition should remain a part of every aviator’s library.
