T-TWOS, Delta Con. Number 31.

Abstract

As part of your Local Analysis and Forecast Program (LAFP), you've identified both centrally and locally produced products. Most products produced at the centralized facilities depict synoptic scale weather features; however, the mesoscale features also concern the forecaster. To help focus on the mesoscale, units can use local products to supplement centrally produced ones. This T-TWOS suggests using the Delta-Con (D-Con) Command Sequence (CS) as a tool to optimize these smaller scale products. You can obtain local products that provide a mesoscale view of the upper air and surface conditions through your Automate Weather Distribution System (AWDS). Examples of local products obtained through AWDS include upper-air and surface analysis products from Formatted Binary Data (FBD), lower and upper air analysis products from Uniform Gridded Data Fields (UGDF), Skew-Ts, and vertical cross section (distance Log-P diagrams) products. However, the one you may use th most and with the greatest success is the Local Area Work Chart (LAWC).
