1 The 4-Dimensional Cube Tom Ryan, FAA Jason Tuell, NWS Bruce Lambert, Lt Col, USAF 12 May Presentation Outline What is the 4-D (Wx) Cube? The 4-D Wx Cube Interagency Plan Demonstrations 2

2 What is this 4-D Wx Cube? A net-centric, virtual, data repository of aviation weather data Developed via Multiagency & Industry efforts Available via Open Standards First operational capability in National Enterprise production (eg, sensors, models, forecasts, processors) is mostly part of a National Enterprise ; data included in the content of the NextGen Enterprise; not all data is included in NextGen Prod Store Prod This graphic represents the production and storage of weather data Not to scale Store Store Prod NextGen Enterprise Virtual 4 D Cube Content Various repositories at multiple locations S A S Characterization Some aviation applicable data production and content is found within the NextGen Enterprise and the store of the content information is within the cube CONCEPTS & DEFINITIONS Not to Scale SOA IT/ES Enterprise Business rules S A S Integration into ATM Exploitation NextGen Enterprise The NextGen Enterprise is a part of the NextGen Enterprise and a part of the National Enterprise Business Rules determine the SAS Also part of systems in the NextGen Enterprise

3 NextGen Roadmap Initial Operational Capability (2013) Integrated environmental information sources Meteorologist oversight of gridded data Common data standards and protocols Initial integration of diverse weather elements into decision support tools Intermediate Capability (2016) Improved modeling and science enables higher resolution more accurate information Full Network compatibility of environmental information Direct integration of weather into Air Traffic Management Systems Full Operational Capability (2022) All NextGen requirements met and benefits achieved High resolution, nested scale forecasts available for all elements Full network connectivity ensures consistent information use across service areas and user groups 5 IOC IOC IT definition Ability to exchange data using defined data services, standards and formats between Government and Industry data repositories IOC Contents definition Convection Icing Turbulence Ceiling and Visibility Winds 6
