What is AWRP?

The FAA Aviation Weather Research Program (AWRP) is an initiative of the Air Traffic Organization's Operations Planning, Aviation Research organization. The goal of the AWRP is to increase the scientific understanding of atmospheric conditions that cause dangerous weather, which in turn, impacts aviation. The research is aimed toward producing weather observations, warnings, and forecasts that are more accurate and more accessible. AWRP funds research into aviation meteorology as it relates to problems in aviation safety or National Airspace System capacity and traffic management which may be solved or mitigated by the results of dedicated scientific studies. Various partner organizations conduct or test the research.
