Keywords: INTEGRATED TERMINAL WEATHER SYSTEM (ITWS)

We examine the impacts of convective weather on the runway and in the arrival transition area before and after Integrated Terminal Weather System (ITWS) implementation using archived weather and flight information. The analyses demonstrate the operational impacts of ITWS and present methods to gauge the impact of future weather tools.
