Prototype Aviation Collaborative Effort

NWS Southern Region Aviation Logo
The Prototype Aviation Collaborative Effort (PACE) will take place at the Ft. Worth ARTCC/CWSU. PACE is a rapid prototype facility designed to test and demonstrate the effective employment of developing science, technology and computer communication interfaces to develop new weather products for decision makers in the Traffic Management Unit (TMU).

The PACE facility will develop a wide range of high-resolution forecast products specifically tailored to the ARTCC air traffic environment. PACE will build upon knowledge and experience gained from ongoing operations and testing such as the Collaborative Convective Forecast Product (CCFP). It is anticipated that an initial suite of graphical products would consist of convective forecasts followed by icing, turbulence, and ceiling and visibility forecasts, other parameters could then be addressed based on requirements outlined by the FAA.
