FSL Infrastructure (2)

• MADIS distribution system provides TAMDAR and
  other aircraft data for
• ingest into local models
• display on AWIPS
• Mike Barth will discuss this in more detail

FSL Infrastructure (3)

• Aircraft-RUC database
• stores 1h forecasts from the operational RUC at
  EMC interpolated to aircraft data points
• Partial output available at
• http//acweb.fsl.noaa.gov/ruc_acars/
• Daily statistics by FSL aircraft ID
• Weekly statistics
• Interactive statistics
• Detailed data available for internal analysis
  Ill present results later

FSL Infrastructure (4)

• Matched real-time RUC models
• dev does not include TAMDAR
• dev2 includes TAMDAR
• otherwise dev is identical to dev2
• Stan will discuss this in more detail
