Integrated Icing Diagnostic Algorithm (IIDA) Assessment Report
Abstract
This report describes the Assessment of the Integrated Icing Diagnostic Algorithm (IIDA) conducted by ACT-320 at the Aviation Weather Center (AWC) from March through May 1998. The IIDA, developed by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), combines a number of in-flight icing detection techniques into an integrated algorithm that makes use of the strengths of each technique. IIDA output is a graphical depiction of the potential for encountering in-flight icing. The purpose of the assessment was to collect feedback from AWC forecasters on the utility of IDA and to guide NCAR in making improvements to the algorithm. Results of the assessment indicated there was value to integrating various icing detection techniques. The IIDA Icing Potential product appeared to provide the most benefit. In addition, several suggestions for IDA enhancements were provided.
