1 Frequency of Weather Delays An Analysis Dr. John McCarthy Manager of Scientific and Technical Program Development Naval Research Laboratory Monterey, California Phone
2 Types of Delays Convective Storms in Spring, Summer, and Fall; clearly the biggest, most frequent, nearly continuous problem Winter storms at major northern airports impacts Part 121 operations (C&V, vertical wind shear) Flight in IMC conditions, or transit from VMC to IMC conditions impacts Part 91 and military operators; critical need to do better job in C&V forecasting/nowcasting
3 Geographical Impacts Convection widespread, but depends on traffic volume situation (e.g., NYC) Winter storms north and east U.S. C&V issues widespread, NE, Mid-Atlantic, Middle and deep South, Upper Midwest, West Coast
4 Causes of Delay Equipment ATC Volume Weather Complexities of interrelationships between categories not well understood; more work needed following excellent lead of MIT Lincoln Laboratory at NYC ITWS Need better definitions of bins, modeling, etc.
5 Accidents by Primary Cause* Hull Loss - Worldwide Commercial Jet Fleet through % 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% Flight Crew 91 67% Airplane 15 11% Weather 10 7% Maintenance 8 6% Misc./Other 6 4% Airport/ATC 5 4% Total with known causes Unknown or awaiting reports Total * As determined by the investigating authority 21

12 Corridor Integrated Weather System (CIWS) Corridor Integrated Weather System is an expansion of existing ITWS technology. Congested en route corridors such as Cleveland ARTCC account for a large fraction of US en route delays. Corridor Integrated Weather System (CIWS) will use all the FAA and NWS weather sensing assets plus best available convective weather forecast technology to reduce delays. Real time product feed to users start in May 2001 at Command Center, en route centers, major terminals Critical need to insure that CIWS weather alert areas are matched with AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT ACTIONS to take full advantage of capabilities
13 Corridor Integrated Weather System (CIWS) Delay reduction projected to be well in excess of 27,000 hours per year. Reduced delays at ORD, CVG, DTW and PIT would equate to a savings of $78M per year for users. Better decision making. Increased departure rates. Better coordination among centers, tracons, ATCSCC. Less unnecessary rerouting due to enroute weather.
14 1-hr Regional Convective Weather Forecast (loop) Precip Display with Storm Motion Vectors CIWS provides high resolution weather and forecasts in Cleveland Corridor Multi-window display allows pan/zoom and animation
15 Integrated Terminal Weather System (ITWS) What is ITWS: ITWS provides an automated capability which will: Integrate data from FAA/NWS sensors and systems, as well as from aircraft in flight Automatically provide weather information that is immediately useable without further meteorological interpretation Predict short-term weather changes Purpose: Provide terminal weather prediction and hazardous weather detection to increase safety and sustain capacity in all weather conditions

24 Parting Thoughts Many valuable weather developments at the FAA Weather is a major cause of delay, but too little is known about the complexity of weather impacts More research on complex models on weather impacts is needed to understand weather more thoroughly how weather fits into ATC/ATM delays I am of the opinion that the impact is both larger than previously believed, and reducible, due mostly to studying the results of Jim Evans of MIT LL
25 Parting Thoughts (Continued) Weather remains quite distributed throughout the agency, and while excellent work is occurring, better big picture coordination of weather within the agency would be beneficial regarding delay and safety There continues to be a need for a senior executive level atmospheric scientist with operational experience who has the respect of the weather community who can help FAA senior management get a broad, integrated handle on weather, and integrate it back to ATC/ATM
