Meteorological Interactive Data Display System (MIDDS).

Abstract

A project has been implemented to fabricate, deliver, and install a Meteorological Interactive Data Display System (MIDDS) at the USAF's Cape Canaveral Forecast Facility (CCFF), Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Florida. The MIDDS will ingest special mesoscale meteorological data sources, merge them together into a gridded data base, integrate the data into forms where they can be displayed alone or in conjunction with correlative data, and then display the required meteorological information quickly and easily. The MIDDS will significantly improve current capabilities, particularly during Space Shuttle landings where improved 0-3 hour mesoscale forecasts are required. Keywords: Weather forecasting.
