Evaluation of the Transcribed Weather Broadcast (TWEB) System and Alternatives. Volume II. Cost Analyses of the TWEB Radio and Telephone Accessible Mass Weather Dissemination Services.
Abstract
In Volume II, a comprehensive, in-depth account is afforded for each facet of the cost analyses. Explanations are furnished as to methodologies of approach followed, procedures used, and criteria adhered to in the collection, reduction, and analyses of data pertinent to the component categories of costs applicable to each service. In each instance, the individual analyses were based on the respective equipment configurations of the services as they existed in the contiguous United States at the close of calendar year 1978. The narrative aspects of the cost analyses are augmented by tabular data which reflect the estimated costs incurred for each cost component on a region-by-region basis. Overall, the total estimated calendar year 1978 national aggregate cost for the TWEB radio service and telephone accessible mass weather dissemination services was determined to be approximately $4.8 million.
