Burstbusters Taming Weather Hazards to Aviation

美国国家大气研究中心(NNCAR)正在开发一个巡回互动展览，以配合美国联邦航空管理局(FAA)在全美47个机场部署终端多普勒天气雷达(TDWR)。这场名为“Burstbuster驯服天气对航空的危害”的展览将描述如何识别有害天气现象，如何利用技术创建一个系统来检测和预测它们，以及新系统将如何在机场运行以提高安全和空中交通效率。大量不经常接触科学问题的人群将被展示给这个案例研究，作为公共科学资助如何直接影响他们生活的一个例子。展览将利用这种联系来提高公众对科学和技术进程的认识，并促进父母对其子女进行科学教育的宣传。从1993年6月到1995年9月，两份展览将在大约20个机场航站楼和科学博物馆展出。

The National Center for Atmospheric Research NNCAR) is developing a traveling interactive exhibit to parallel the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) deployment of Terminal Doppler Weather Radars (TDWR) at 47 airports across the United States. This exhibit, titled "Burstbusters Taming Weather Hazards to Aviation," will describe how the hazardous weather phenomena were identifies, how technology was utilized to create a system to detect and predict them, and how the new system will operate at airports to enhance safety and air traffic efficiency. large groups of the population not routinely exposed to science issues will be presented with this case study as an example of how public science funding can directly affect their lives. The exhibit will capitalize on this linkage to increase public literacy about the science and technology processes and to promote parental advocacy of science education for their children. Two copies of the exhibit will travel to approximately 20 airport terminals and science museums from June 1993 through September 1995.//
