Welcome to the Aviation Weather Testbed
The Experimental Summer Dashboard was released May 1st 2013. This dashboard was designed to provide a decision support tool that highlights the likelihood of convection that will affect major terminals and airways in the Northeast United States.
The Aviation Weather Testbed conducted its first Winter Weather Experiment from February 11th - February 22nd, 2013. Please visit the 2013 Winter Weather Experiment page for more information.
The Aviation Weather Testbed conducted the 2012 Summer Experiment from June 4th - June 15th, 2012.
The Experimental Aviation Winter Weather Dashboard is designed as a decision support tool to alert meteorologists and air traffic planners to potential winter weather impacts at major airports.
Mission Statement:
The Aviation Weather Testbed, located at the NOAA Aviation Weather Center in Kansas City, MO is designed to create an environment for the transfer of new and innovative aviation weather forecast technology into real-time operations for safe and efficient flight, and to engage in the strategic implementation of the FAA's NextGen requirements for aviation weather. The primary objective of the AWT is to test, evaluate, and refine promising aviation weather research in partnership with the AWC's government, academic, and private sector stakeholders, with the eventual goal of implementing new ideas into a robust, secure, and real-time operational environment.
