Abstract
The National Weather Service, Federal Aviation Administration, and Department of Defense are in the process of fielding the Next Generation Weather Radars (NEXRAD). It has been assumed that NEXRADs would provide a more accurate representation of the weather situation. However, because the NEXRAD’s scanning strategy is more time consuming than the Air Route Surveillance Radar (ARSR) weather data currently being used by air traffic controllers, there have been some concerns about its use in air traffic control. This article presents data assessing the relative ability of NEXRADs and ARSRs to detect and present significant weather in order to determine the operational impact of using NEXRAD data in lieu of ARSR data. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
