Abstract:

This report presents information on flight service station (FSS) displays and is part of the FSS Automation Program. FSS specialists from manual and automated facilities evaluated a variety of display options. The options included standard and high resolution, P39 and P40 phosphors, monochrome and color, and several methods of formatting and coding graphic and tabular weather information, and weather radar. Results showed (1) the standard resolution, 512 by 640 pixels, was equivalent to the high, 768 by 1,024 pixels, (2) the yellow-white P40 was preferred to the green P39, (3) there were no problems with smear of afterimages or with flicker at 30 hertz (Hz) interlaced frame rate, and (4) monochrome displays were quite acceptable, but color was preferred. With respect to formatting information, (5) two sizes of characters were preferred for graphic displays, and (6) weather radar was most successfully presented by contouring and coded fill, next by showing the raw radar in variations of color or brightness, and least by using coded contours only.
