Data Centric Wx: Global Embrace
• WMO and ICAO are jointly moving forward to enable data centric weather exchange
• In aviation, we are moving from text and product centric weather for:– Observations– Forecasts– Accessing (Dissemination) and – Integration into Decision Support
CSS-Wx Briefing to FPAW 3Federal AviationAdministrationOctober 31, 2012
WXXM Evolution• WXXM is key to data centric concepts and
applications & NextGen/SESAR support– FAA and NWS are leading the evolution in partnership with
EUROCONTROL– The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) establishes the
basis for global MET/Wx information exchange– ICAO establishes the basis for Meteorological Service for
International Air Navigation (ICAO Annex 3)– Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) provides the forum for
establishing open standards for exchanges of geospatial referenced information
CSS-Wx Briefing to FPAW 4Federal AviationAdministrationOctober 31, 2012
Open standards for weather information exchange ensure harmonization and ease of future enhancement and implementation

Background• FAA weather information today is limited by:
– Weather products only provide limited coverage area and update rate
– Traffic managers and users must mentally interpret weather conditions, future traffic, and airspace information and their potential impact on decisions
– Unique data types, fixed graphic or text products formats
– Customized information sharing protocols– Fixed time and space resolution– Weather forecasts not integrated into Decision
Support Tools (DSTs)

Legacy Weather Systems Transformation
• NextGen weather programs:
– Reduce legacy system complexity– Enable reuse, scalability, and agility – Fulfill varying needs of different systems/users– Transform legacy silos to SOA services – Improve services interoperability using SWIM
CSS-Wx Briefing to FPAW 12Federal AviationAdministrationOctober 31, 2012
CSS-Wx Scope• Common Support Services for Weather (CSS-Wx) is a
FAA NextGen Transformational Program • CSS-Wx will be part of a National Airspace System
(NAS) Common Support Services capability for deployment in 2016
• CSS-Wx will be the single provider of aviation weather information for FAA users– Consolidate legacy weather provider systems– Filter weather information to support specific users needs– Standardize weather information into common formats– Enable integration of weather information into air traffic decision
support tools
CSS-Wx Briefing to FPAW 13Federal AviationAdministrationOctober 31, 2012
CSS-Wx Functionalities• CSS-Wx will publish advanced aviation specific information from
NextGen Weather Processor, NOAA 4-D Wx Data Cube and other sources to consumers via System Wide Information Management (SWIM)
• Provide weather information via web services such as:– Web Coverage Service (WCS) for gridded data– Web Feature Service (WFS) for non-gridded data– Web Map Service (WMS) for imagery
• Standardize Weather information into the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) formats with the exception of radar data– Network Common Data Form, version 4 (netCDF-4)– Weather Information Exchange Model (WXXM)– JPEG, PNG or GIF
CSS-Wx Briefing to FPAW 14Federal AviationAdministrationOctober 31, 2012
NWP Scope• NWP establishes a common weather processing
platform to– Consolidate weather product generation by legacy weather
processor systems – Produce advanced aviation specific weather, including translation
of weather information into weather constraint areas• To be implemented over multiple work packages (WPs)
with WP1 Initial Operating Capability (IOC) in 2016
CSS-Wx Briefing to FPAW 15Federal AviationAdministrationOctober 31, 2012
• Legacy Systems• Rising operations
and maintenance costs
