NWA Meteorology
Northwest Airlines Meteorology is known throughout the airline industry for excellence in turbulence forecasting. We provide flight crews, dispatchers, planners and ground crews with the information needed to keep the passengers and crew informed and safe from various weather hazards.
Through our innovative TP (Turbulence Plot) Program, information about clear air turbulence, wind shears, thunderstorms, mountain waves and volcanic ash is uplinked directly to the cockpit by Northwest Airlines meteorologists 24 hours a day every day of the year.
Meteorologists prepare upper air weather depictions that forecast possible areas of clear air turbulence and mountain wave activity. This gives the flight crews and dispatchers the extra time necessary to reroute traffic around these weather hazards, which are often difficult or impossible to see while in flight.
Surface depictions are also prepared and updated throughout the day showing the position of fronts and forecasting possible thunderstorm activity.
