Customization of a mesoscale numerical weather prediction system for transportation applications
Abstract
The development of mesoscale numerical weather forecast models to assist in weather-sensitive transportation operations is discussed. The models help in improving the degree of automation, and developing new methods of visualizations and automation. The models operating at higher resolution in space and time with more detailed physics may offer greater precision and accuracy within a limited geographic region for problems with short-term weather sensitivity. They are well suited toward improving economic and safety factors of concern to state and local highway administrations, and operators of airports.
