Providing Real-Time Meteorological Support to FAA Air Traffic Control Operations
Denver Center Weather Service meteorologists are responsible for maintaining watch over current and forecasted weather phenomena that may affect the centers airspace and surrounding areas. The meteorologists track and forecast weather conditions and report these conditions to the control room floor. The controllers then in turn plan and project their traffic flows and react accordingly. National products issued by the CWSU meteorologist include Center Weather Advisories (CWA) and Meteorological Impact Statements (MIS). The CWA is a short term advisory valid for two hours or less describing areas of hazardous weather in progress or forecast to develop. The MIS is a forecast product valid up to 12 hours describing areas of weather that may impact air traffic operations.
