meteorologists provide weather support and consultation to FAA air
traffic managers and controllers. Rerouting of aircraft around
hazardous weather is based largely on forecasts provided by the CWSU
meteorologist. National products issued by the CWSU meteorologist
include Center Weather Advisories (CWA) and Meteorological
Impact Statements (MIS). The CWA is a short term advisory
valid for two hours or less describing areas of hazardous weather in
progress or forecast to develop. The MIS is a forecast
product valid up to 12 hours describing areas of weather that may
impact air traffic operations.
