ARTICLE I - SCOPE
This Implementing Arrangement describes the cooperative scienti-
fic, technical, engineering and administrative activities to be
undertaken by the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) and its de-
signated representative, the University Corporation for Atmosph-
eric Research (UCAR), to develop and implement an Advanced Oper-
ational Aviation Weather System (AOAWS). The AOAWS is a coopera-
tive effort between TECRO ,through its designated representative
, the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA), of the Ministry of
Transportation and Communications (MOTC) and the American Insti-
tute in Taiwan (AIT), through its designated representative UCAR
. This Implementing Arrangement pertains to the Agreement (dated
February 1998, hereinafter referred to as the Agreement) between
TECRO and AIT for Technical Cooperation associated with the Est-
ablishment of Advanced Operational Aviation Weather Systems and
is a part of the Agreement.

ARTICLE II - AUTHORIZATION
The activities described in this Implementing Arrangement will
be carried out under the general terms and conditions establish-
ed by the Agreement. That referenced agreement was entered into
by the parties pursuant to the Taiwan Relations Act of April 10,
1979, Public Law 96-8 (22 USC 3301 et seq.).

ARTICLE III - SERVICES
The AOAWS will provide the CAA, and through the CAA, the airlin-
es and the flying public on Taiwan with state-of-the-art techno-
logy for detecting and warning of: 1) hazardous weather phenome-
na that affect aviation operations, 2) weather phenomena that a-
ffect airspace capacity and safety at the three major hub airpo-
rts on Taiwan, and 3) weather phenomena that affect overall eff-
iciency of aviation operations. The AOAWS is a complex system u-
tilizing several advanced weather sensing subsystems, integrated
communications, advanced software developed by UCAR, advanced n-
umerical models developed by UCAR and advanced display technolo-
gy for CAA and airline end users developed by UCAR. The success-
ful implementation of the AOAWS is heavily dependent on technic-
al cooperation and technology transfer between the designated r-
epresentatives of TECRO and AIT in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Agreement, this Implementing Arrangement and
future Implementing Arrangements to be agreed upon by the parti-
es.
This Implementing Arrangement is specifically focused on: 1) pr-
oviding support for the procurement and implementation of Low L-
evel Windshear Alert Systems (LL WAS) for Sungshan and Chiang K-
ai Shek (CKS) airports, 2) continued development and refinement
of aviation weather data servers and end user displays, 3) deve-
lopment and completion of version-2 aviation weather products, 4
) continued development and implementation of the numerical wea-
ther forecast model to be used in the system, and 5) the implem-
entation of the version-2 AOAWS system at the Taipei Aeronautic-
al Meteorological Center (TAMC). The technical cooperation to be
undertaken under the auspices of this Implementing Arrangement
is defined by the following tasks. Details of these tasks, incl-
uding specific work to be performed, percentage of overall work
to be performed, performance period and estimated cost of each
task is contained in the attached Statement of Work. A summary
description of the tasks to be performed during this period is
provided below.

Task #1 - System Implementation
This task focuses on the implementation of version-2 of the Mul-
ti-dimensional Display System (MDS), model display and product -
software. it also includes implementation of
version-l system monitoring software for the Flight Information
Region (FIR) system and the Web system. By the end of the fiscal
year, live data will be flowing directly from CWB and CAA sourc-
es into the system at the Taipei Aeronautical Meteorological Ce-
nter (TAMC) development laboratory. The numerical weather forec-
ast model (MM5) will be running at the Central Weather Bureau (
CWB) and che MM5 data will be utilized by the data server system
at the TAMC laboratory. By the end of the fiscal year, TAMC har-
dware will include the system data server, Web system, model, M-
DS and system monitor displays. During this fiscal year, Weather
Station, TAMC, Flight Information Service (FIS), and airline st-
aff will be invited to evaluate the AOAWS system and provide fe-
edback to system developers.
During development, the AOAWS system will be located in the TAMC
development laboratory. Because the system is still in a develo-
pment phase this fiscal year, the system and its products will
not be used operationally. User feedback will be recorded and as
appropriate, system refinements will be made. An initial traini-
ng session will be held for future operational users of the sys-
tem (TAMC meteorologists, flight information service and weather
stations staff) so they can become familiar with the system whi-
le it is undergoing development and internal testingat the TAMC
laboratory.

Task #2 - End User Display Development
The major objective during this year is to develop and implement
version-2 of the MDS and model display software that includes e-
nhanced product, features, and functions. It also includes deve-
lopment of version-l system monitoring software for the FIR sys-
tem and the Web system. The displays will be located at the TAMC
development laboratory. Once the version-2 software is stable, a
limited set of display users will be asked to interact with the
system and provide feedback. This activity will occur toward the
latter part of the fiscal year. Feedback will be recorded and a-
nalyzed and where appropriate, system refinements will be devel-
oped and incorporated into the next software version.

Task #3 - MM5 Model Development
MM5 development during FY2000 will focus on: (i) tuning the 135/
45/15 MM5 configuration on the UCAR-provided workstation (SGI 0-
200) and then subsequently on the VPP or HPC system at CWB, (ii)
developing and implementing improvements to the 135/45/15 MM5 at
CWB, (iii) parallelization of MM5 code focussing on improved ve-
ctorization and load balancing, and (iv) beginning development
of the 135/45/15 MM5 configuration with 3DVAR.
Model analysis will be conducted to investigate which physics s-
chemes and parameterizations are superior. The development of t-
he DVAR system components and capabilities will continue. A 135/
45/15-km configuration of the MM5 model will be constructed and
tested at UCAR. By the latter part of FY2000, a 3-domain, 135/45
/15-km MM5 model will run at CWB on the VPP or HPC with a 6-hour
update cycle2. The model output will flow to the TAMC developme-
nt laboratory and will be utilized by the data servers and disp-
lays.

Task #4 - Flight Information Region (FIR) Product Development
A number of advanced three and four-dimensional advanced aviati-
on weather products will be developed and implemented. The seco-
nd version of the wind, temperature, flight category, lightning,
METAR, satellite and turbulence products will be installed at t-
he
1 The MM5 system at CWB will initially run on an UCAR-provided
workstation (SGI 0-200). The MMS system will then be moved to
the CWB's VPP system or new High Performance Complner (HPC).
2 If the VPP or HPC, which should have sufficient processing ca-
pability to support a 6-hour cycle, are not available during
the period, the MM5 model will continue to run on the SGI 0-20
0 on a 12--hour cycle.
TAMC on the development system. Real time data originating at t-
he CwB and CAA and from the MM5 at CWB will be ingested into the
data server at the TAMC. Discussions with the CAA and Taiwan-ba-
sed airlines will continue with the objective of determining the
process, participants and logistics of implementing a program to
downlink wind, temperature and turbulence data from commercial
aircraft based on Taiwan. The commercial aircraft measured data
would be used by the MM5 model for improving its forecasts and
the wind, temperature and turbulence data would be used by the
airlines and CAA for flight planning and hazard avoidance.

Task #5 - Terminal Windshear Systems Procurement
The major activity for this year is providing support to the CAA
during the period when the selected LL WAS vendor installs and
tests the LL WAS systems at Sungshan and CKS Airports. UCAR will
support the CAA procurement process by: 1) responding to questi-
ons and issues raised by the LL WAS vendor or CAA during system
implementation, 2) reviewing LL WAS station output to make sure
it meets the specification, and 3) reviewing two to three selec-
ted windshear case studies to make sure the LL WAS system (netw-
ork) is performing properly at each airport.

Task #6 - AOAWS Project Management
The development of the AOAWS system will be led by UCAR with so-
ftware, system engineering, and programmatic support from the I-
nstitute for Information Industry (III).
During the course of the AOAWS project, UCAR will work closely
with the CAA to address project-related questions and issues as
necessary and appropriate. UCAR will participate in quarterly p-
roject review meetings to ensure that the project remains on tr-
ack according to the Detailed Project Plan. The project managem-
ent task includes developing, coordinating and managing the work
performed by UCAR and III, responding to routine requests made
by the CAA, interfacing with project participants including the
CWB, CAA and airlines, preparing quarterly progress reports, pa-
rticipating in AOAWS project-related meetings, reviewing and su-
bmitting deliverable documents, preparing and submitting project
correspondence and administering the AOAWS contracts and subcon-
tracts.

Statement of Workassociated with
Implementing Arrangement Number 3
Continued Development of An Advanced Operational
Aviation Weather System (AOAWS)
subject to the
Agreement
between the
Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United
States
and the
American Institute In Taiwan
for
Technical Cooperation
associated with
Establishment of Advanced Operational Aviation Weather Systems
1.0 Background and Objectives
The Agreement between the Taipei Economic and Cultural Repr-
esentative Office (TECRO) in the United States and the Amer-
ican Institute in Taiwan (AIT) provides for technical coope-
ration between TECRO'S designated representative, the Civil
Aeronautics Administration (CPLA) and AIT's designated repr-
esentative, the University Corporation for Atmospheric Rese-
arch(UCAR). UCAR and CAA will cooperate on the development
and establishment of operational aviation weather systems.
The Advanced Operational Aviation Weather System (AOAWS) now
being developed by CAA requires current scientific and tech-
nical components in order to provide a high level of service
to the aviation community on Taiwan. Most of this science a-
nd technology has been developed at UCAR over the past 10 y-
ears and has been validated in operational environments both
in the U. S. and in other countries.
The AOAWS will consist of advanced meteorological sensor sy-
stems (at airports and within the Taiwan airspace), a commu-
nications infrastructure, a product generation component, a
system server component that distributes products to users,
and product displays that present the advanced weather info-
rmation to end users. AOAWS system components will be integ-
rated to form an operational, turn-key system that can serve
the aviation community.
UCAR, as the designated representative of AIT, will work wi-
th the Institute for Information Industry (III) on Taiwan to
provide the necessary technology to TECRO, and its designat-
ed representative, CAA, to establish the AOAWS.
2.0 Task Descriptions
The schedule for each of the tasks listed below are provided
in the attached Gantt chart.
The Gantt chart should be used as a reference as it provides
detailed information on task start and end times, dependenc-
ies, milestones and deliverable dates.

2.1 Task #1 - System Implementation
This task focuses on fUrther development, refinement and im-
plementation of AOAWS FIR system software. During this fisc-
al year, Weather Station, TAMC, Flight Information Service (
FIS), and airline staff will be invited to evaluate the AOA-
WS system and provide feedback to system developers. Somvare
refinements to the version-i system will consider feedback
gained by running and evaluating the version-i system at the
TAMC development laboratory and on system and network perfo-
rmance experience. The version-l system will be maintained
at the TAIMC development Laboratory during the development
of the version-2 system to allow users to gain experience w-
ith the system during development. Feedback from version-1
will be recorded and, as appropriate, system refinements wi-
ll be made to version-2-. An updated training session will
be held for system users and operators so they can become f-
amiliar with the version-2 system while it is undergoing de-
velopment at the TAMC development laboratory.
By the latter part of the tiscal year, the system requireme-
nts (excluding the Web system and system monitor display) w-
ill be frozen to allow sufficient time to develop and imple-
ment refinements identified prior to the requirements freeze
date. User feedback gathered after the requirements freeze
date will be recorded for fUture consideration. The require-
ments freeze date is necessary to ensure that system develo-
pment and implementation tasks can be completed and deliver-
ed on schedule.

2.2 Task #2 - End User Display Development
The development of the model and MDS displays will continue this
year. The major objective this year is to develop and implement
version-2 of the MDS software that includes enhanced product, f-
eatures and functions as described in the System Design Document
. Refinements made to the software will consider user feedback
gainedby having TAMC, weather station, airline and flight infor-
mation service personnel review the version-1 system at the TAMC
development laboratory. Version-2 software will incorporate sys-
tem refinements, where appropriate, that are identified by users
tasked with reviewing the version-1 system. Once version-2 soft-
ware integration is completed and the system is stable, TAMC, w-
eather station and flight information service personnel will be
asked to review the version-2 system and provide feedback. Feed-
back will be considered and, where appropriate, software refine-
ments will be developed;

2.3 Task #3 - MM5 Model Development
The development of the MM5 forecasting model will continue duri-
ng FYZ000. Each new version of the MM5 will be developed, imple-
mented and tested at UCAR. After such internal testing at UCAR
the model will be ported to the CWB computing environment.

During FY2000, the CWB will be in the process of upgrading their
computing environment to include a new HPC. During the early pe-
riod covered by IA#3, the MM5 system will run on a temporary wo-
rkstation provided by UCAR (SGI 0-200). The MM5 will then be mo-
ved to either the HPC or the VPP, depending on the availability
of the HPC. There is a goal to implement the MM5 on the HPC wit-
hin six months of gaining access to the HPC for development and
evaluation.

Assuming the VPP becomes available, UCAR will implement MM5 at
CWB in phases. In the first phase of development, a 'fake-time'
prototype MM5 system will be installed at CWB on the VPP. The '
fake-time' system will operate from a two-week period of histor-
ical data and will simulate the system operation. In the second
phase, the MMS system will run using current CWB Global Model d-
ata and observations. The MMS forecasts produced in this phase
will be irregular, and the system will be periodically. turned
off for analysis and modification. The final phase institutes a
real-time MM5 system with 6-hr cycling, in which the forecasts
will be made as regularly as possible given the availability of
computing resources at CWB. Model output will be sent to the T-
AMC development laboratory via the AOAWS network.

MMS development during FY2000 will focus on: (i) tuning the 135/
45/15 MM5 configuration on the UCAR-provided workstation (SGI 0-
200) and then subsequently on the VPP or HPC system at CWB, (ii)
developing and implementing improvements to the 135/45/15-km MM5
, (iii) parallelization of MM5 code, focussing on improved vect-
orization and load balancing, and (iv) beginning development of
the l35/45/15-km MM5 configuration with 3DVAR. Model analysis w-
ill also be conducted to investigate which physics schemes and
parameterizations are superior for the MM5's 15-km domain.

The development of techniques for the MM5 ingestion of wind and
temperature data from commercial aircraft using the Meteorologi-
cal Data Collection and Reporting System (MDCRS) will be undert-
aken if these data become available. Work will also continue on
developing techniques for the ingestion of satellite data and G-
lobal Positioning System (GPS) meteorological data, if availabl-
e. UCAR will develop QC methods for these data types.

The development of the 3DVAR system components and capabilities
will continue. These will include the background error covaria-
nces and the adjoints of the observation operators for selected
data types. The analysis of observational error covariances wi-
ll also continue. The 3DVAR data assimilation system will be d-
eveloped on hardware at UCAR. Development of the MM5 adjoint a-
nd 4DVAR systems and research in 4DVAR techniques will also co-
ntinue at UCAR.

The MM5 model development sub-tasks include the following:
.Coordinating with CAA and CWB on issues related to implementi-
ng MM5 on the VPP and new CWB HPC systems
.Parallelizing MM5 software
.Implementing MM5 at CWB on the VPP and/or HPC (depending on a-
vailability)
.Developing and tuning of MM5 using a 135/45/15-km grid (6-hour
cycle)
.Developing ingest and QC software for MDCRS data (if data are
available)
.Developing ingest and QC software for GPS data (if data are a-
vailable)
.Continuing development of background error covariances for 3D-
VAR
.Continuing development of observations error covariances for
3DVAR
.Continuing development of adjoint observations operators for
3DVAR
.Continuing internal testing 3DVAR software at UCAR
.Continuing adjoint and 4DVAR development at UCAR

Deliverable:
MM5 135/45/15 km grid at CWB on a
6-hour cycle. (Six-hour cycle depends on having
sufficient processing capability available, otherwise,
a 12-hour cycle will be used.)

2.4 Task #4 -FIR Product Development
This year focuses on the continued development and refinement of
all the FIR products. At the end of FY1999, the first version (
version-1) of many of the products and displays will be impleme-
nted at the TAMC development laboratory. Users will be asked to
review the version-1 system and supply feedback. Display and pr-
oduct refinements made for the version-2 system will consider u-
ser feedback provided on the version-1 system.

Development of the turbulence forecast algorithm will continue
in FY2000. Various turbulence algorithms and indices (Richardson
number, turbulence kinetic energy, McCann index, etc.) will be
analyzed to assess the best approach to use on the hig-hresolut-
ion Taipei FIR MM5 data. Development will also begin on a fuzzy
logic turbulence forecast product that integrates model and real
time data. The development of this product will be highly lever-
aged with current U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) re-
search and development activities at UCAR.
It is anticipated that during FY2000, Taiwan-based airlines int-
erested in participating in the MDCRS project will be identified
. UCAR will assist the CAA, airlines, and aviation data network
providers to develop a plan to conduct a demonstration of the M-
DCRS capability on a limited number of aircraft. Support would
be provided to help the participants coordinate with their avio-
nics representative (e.g., Allied Signal and Teledyne) for the
installation of onboard software required, for downlinking mete-
orological data. UCAR will also participate in technical meetin-
gs with SITA for routing the MDCRS reports and reformatting the
data. The ultimate goal of the project is to collect and dissem-
inate worldwide MDCRS data to Taiwan MDCRS participants (CAA, C-
WB and airlines). The MDCRS data would be used to support airli-
ne flight planning, hazard avoidance, and for weather forecast
modeling activities. By the end of the year, the second version
(version-2) of the flight category, lightning, satellite, AIREP
, METAR and forecast wind and temperature products based on the
l35/ 45/15-km MM5 forecasts will be completed and installed on
the AOAWS System at the TAMC development laboratory. The develo-
pment of the AOAWS airport surface wind, temperature, ceiling a-
nd visibility forecast products based on Model Output Statistics
(MOS) will begin this fiscal year and continue through FY2001.

The FIR product development tasks and sub-tasks will include the
following:
.Assisting the CAA with expanding the MDCRS program to Taiwan
.Collecting and analyzing user feedback on the AOAWS products (
version-1)
.Developing and refining the lightning product (version-2)

2.5 Task #5 - Terminal Windshear Systems Procurement
It is anticipated that an LL WAS contractor will be selected at
the beginning of FYZ000. This will lead to the implementation of
LL WAS systems at Sungshan and CKS airports. UCAR will provide
input and guidance to the CAA during the course of the LL WAS i-
nstallation. The LL WAS systems are scheduled to be commissioned
by the end of FY2000. Toward the end of the LL WAS implementati-
on period, UCAR will review LL WAS remote sensor station output
to make sure it meets the requirements Of the specification. UC-
AR will also review two or three selected windshear events as m-
easured by the LL WAS systems to ensure the LL WAS system as a
whole is performing properly at each airport.

pport from III. During the course of the AOAWS project, UCAR wi-
ll work closely with the CAA to ensure that the AOAWS project r-
emains on track according to the Detailed Project Plan. UCAR wi-
ll conduct quarterly project review meetings to track progress.
The project management task will include developing, coordinati-
ng and managing the work performed by UCAR and III, responding
to routine requests made by the CAA, interfacing with project p-
articipants including the CWB, CAA and airlines, preparing quar-
