Abstract
Weather effects on aviation are summarized, and aviation-significant atmospheric processed are briefly discussed. In situ sensing of surface wind shear is reviewed. The role of Doppler weather radars as aviation weather sensors is discussed, and three currently evolving Doppler radar systems-NEXRAD, TDWR, and ASR-9-are briefly described with regard to their role in flight management. The uses of each system are outlined. Emphasis is placed on automated generation of high-level products and displays. The influence of these instrument systems on flight management is discussed.<>
