Shuttle Transportation System Meteorological Expert (STSMET): Thunderstorm Weather Forecasting Expert System (TWFES)

摘要

In May 1984, NASA approved a three-year project to develop a weather forecasting system to support Shuttle operations. Arthur D. Little, Inc. (ADL) was selected in April 1985 to undertake this project. The results of a feasibility study (completed December 1985) indicated that a two-year effort be undertaken to construct a prototype thunderstorm weather forecasting expert system (TWFES). Work was divided into two one-year phases, each to be concluded by a presentation and review. Phase one was completed in September 1986, and a report on that research was presented. The second phase was completed in September 1987. This summary describes the work and findings of phase two.
