The VizAir system integrates data from the RWP, MPR, Sodar, and surface sensor provides the ability to constantly monitor low-level wind field characteristics along with any associated wind shear, low-level jets, headwinds, tailwinds, and crosswinds. These parameters are critical to pilot weather situational awareness and gauging aircraft performance. Wind retrievals are processed through wind shear algorithms that derive shear magnitude and depth characteristics. Decision makers (like air traffic control and pilots) use these alerts to make informed decisions about takeoff and landing operations when wind shear conditions exist.
