Weather Systems Processor (WSP) - A Cost-Effective Terminal Weather System

摘要

The ASR-9 WSP uses state-of-the-art processing technology to provide operationally beneficial wind shear and hazardous weather information from existing airport surveillance radars. This is achieved at moderate cost owing to elimination of requirements for new sensors and associated land and infrastructure acquisition. WSP deployment will substantially reduce the risk of wind shear related accidents at the airports where it is deployed. Further, its comprehensive data archiving, playback and analysis capability will support detailed meteorological event reconstruction from all sites to which it is deployed. The extensive data monitoring and archiving capability that the WSP provides will support ongoing refinements to both its meteorological processing algorithms, and the operational procedures that make use of the information it provides.
