Abstract:

The Aviation Weather Division, ANG-C61, sponsored the development and ongoing research of the Offshore Precipitation Capability (OPC). OPC fuses satellite imagery, lightning data, and weather models to estimate the location and intensity of precipitation in areas where radar is not available. OPC is currently available to support situation awareness at: • New York Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) (ZNY), • Houston ARTCC (ZHU), • Miami ARTCC (ZMA), • San Juan Center Radar Approach Control (CERAP) (ZSU), and • Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC). Further development continues to support coverage over the Rocky Mountains where terrain interferes with radar coverage. The OPC maturing research is slated for the transition to a NAS acquisition system. A User Evaluation is needed prior to transition to determine suitability and usability for Traffic Management users. The Aviation Weather Demonstration and Evaluation (AWDE) Services Team conducted the User Evaluation which focused on gathering feedback from users at ZMA, ZHU, ZSU, ZNY, ZOA (Oakland ARTCC), ZDV (Denver ARTCC), and the ATCSCC.
