LOW-COST WEATHER-CONTOURING DEVICE.

Abstract

A low-cost weather-contouring device was developed for use by the Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) high-altitude radar controller. The design and performance characteristics are given and the proposed Electronic Equipment Modification (EEM) are presented. It was concluded that the requirement to present contoured weather to the high-altitude controller positions can be met through the use of this low-cost device; and it was recommended that this operational capability be considered for introduction into the ARTCC as a modification to the RBDE-5 system.
