PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FOR THE COMMON AVIATION WEATHER SYSTEM. VOLUME I.
Abstract
These volumes set forth criteria for judging the performance of the Common Aviation Weather System (CAWS) during its development and operation. Applied to CAWS, these criteria will assure that the resulting system satisfies aviation's operational requirements for weather information to the greatest extent practicable. Volume One presents performance criteria for the total system and for each of the four subsystems - observing, processing, presenting, and communicating. System criteria are concerned with the timeliness of information availability, the credibility of this information, and the distribution of information in accordance with user requirements. Criteria for the subsystems involve: (1) Observing network time and space resolution and observation accuracy, (2) Processing accuracy, (3) Adequate presentation techniques for displaying system products in both alpha-numeric and graphical form, as well as (4) Communication error rates and the reliability of information transfer.
