Abstract
Operational demonstrations of a prototype TDWR/LLWAS integrated wind
shear detection system were conducted at Denver's Stapleton International Airport
during the 1989 and 1990 summer seasons. The integration of wind shear detection
systems is needed to provide end-users with a single, consensus source of
information. A properly implemented integrated system provides wind shear
warnings of a higher quality than stand-alone LLWAS or TDWR systems.
The algorithmic concepts used to generate the TDWR/LLWAS integrated
products and several case studies will be discussed, indicating the viability and
potential of integrated wind shear detection systems. Implications for integrating
ground and airborne wind shear detection systems will be briefly examined.
