The numerical model is part of a unique operational forecasting system being developed to support the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Terminal Area Productivity Program. This operational forecasting system will focus on meso–b–scale aviation weather problems involving planetary boundary layer (PBL) turbulence, and is named the Terminal Area PBL Prediction System (TAPPS). TAPPS (version 1) is being tested and developed for NASA in an effort to improve 1–6–h terminal area forecasts of wind, vertical wind shear, temperature, and turbulence within both stable and convective PBLs at major airport terminal areas. This is being done to enhance terminal area productivity, that is, aircraft arrival and departure throughput, by using the weather forecasts as part of the Aircraft Vort...}, number={9}, journal={BULLETIN OF THE AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY}, author={Kaplan, ML and Lin, YL and Charney, JJ and Pfeiffer, KD and Ensley, DB and DeCroix, DS and Weglarz, RP}, year={2000}, month={Sep}, pages={2179–2204} } @article{decroix_lin_schowalter_1997, title={Cellular convection embedded in the convective planetary boundary layer surface layer}, volume={67-68}, number={1997 Apr./June}, journal={Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics}, author={DeCroix, D.
