Summary of National Weather Service Aviation Workshop Kansas City, Missouri, 10–12 December 1991

The National Weather Service sponsored a workshop on aviation weather on 10–12 December 1991, in Kansas City, Missouri. The theme of the workshop was the improvement of service to the aviation community through the application of technology and advanced forecast techniques. The 150-plus people who attended the workshop included a cross section of operational forecasters, pilots, research meteorologists, and representatives of the aviation industry. The workshop included sessions on user requirements, operational procedures, and the impacts of new technology on the forecast products. There were also four "hands-on" laboratory sessions where participants produced various types of aviation weather products. The interaction between the user community and working-level forecasters made the workshop a unique event.
