AFOS Experimental Program

Abstract The experimental program to date has concentrated on the forecaster's work station. By presenting field forecasters with a simulated problem, we were able to identify several important features to be enhanced and several to be changed. The most important feature to be enhanced was the flexibility in creating individual work stations. Smaller units, with specialized func-tions, that could be linked together in various combi, nations, appear to be highly desirable. The forecast preparation function was indentified as the most critical for design of the work station. This function places more emphasis on alphanumeric (KCRT) and message composition devices than on graphic displays. The use of KCRT devices for forecast preparation has several advantages including cost. Beyond the technical details of the work station, we learned much about the idiosyncrasies of the forecasters. A significant number wear bifocals, for example, and the orientation of displays is particularly important. The development of one horizontal keyboard for all hardware control functions is another change to be considered. From the field forecasters we also gained insight into the training required. The mechanics of AFOS are easily learned, but adaption into forecasters' work routines will be more difficult. However, considering the high skill level of National Weather Service field people, "overkill" on training should be avoided. The local data base needs to be enhanced. To this end, the parallel programs leading to automating surface, radar and upper air observations are being interfaced with AFOS.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
