交互式预报辅助制作系统及其中的交互技术

Interactive Forecast Preparation System and Its Interactive Techniques

交互式预报辅助制作系统 (InteractiveForecastPreparationSystem)是美国国家气象局 (NWS)近年来列为重点开发的研究项目之一。它也是高级交互式气象处理系统 (AWIPS)的重要组成部分。IFPS中与交互式预报准备有关的技术研究和开发已有 10多年的时间。通过人机交互 ,IFPS可以帮助预报员更加有效地进行预报制作和发布工作。作者在介绍IFPS的基础上 ,针对其中采用的一些交互式技术方法进行了分析和论述 ,有助于了解美国国家气象局在预报业务软件开发方面的成果 ,也可为我国开发研制新一代天气预报业务流程提供借鉴。

Interactive Forecast Preparation System (IFPS) has been one of the highest priority projects of the National Weather Service (NWS) for years. It is also an important component of Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System. The NWS has been developing and testing techniques that support interactive forecast preparation for more than a decade. With interactive operation, IFPS could help forecasters to predict and deliver products effectively. The basic structure of IFPS is introduced and some interactive technical details used in IFPS are discussed. Not only does it show some operational applications of the NWS, but it also gives some useful reference relating to the development of the Chinese New Generation Weather Forecast Process.
