Appendix A
Statement of Task

The FAA has established desired and minimal convective weather forecasting accuracy for the future air traffic control system. The workshop will

  1. explore the present and future potential in meeting this stated accuracy,

  2. explore the various methods of conveying the forecasts to the air traffic controller and the pilot, and

  3. if it is indicated that the forecasting accuracy may not be achieved, a prospectus for a study examining what is needed to reach the FAA requirements will be generated.
