Welcome to FX-Advanced

FX-Advanced is the over-arching term encompassing ESRL/GSD's workstation activities. While the focus of this work is WFO-Advanced/AWIPS, other efforts include FX-Collaborate, a Java system for forecaster collaboration; AWIPS extensions using our Advanced Linux Prototype System (ALPS) platform; Hydrometeorology Testbed (HMT) Program support; and Range Standardization and Automation (RSA - Air Force).

WFO-Advanced is the realization of FX-Advanced that is tailored for use at a NWS Weather Forecast Office, and it constitutes the bulk of the forecaster component of the National Weather Service's Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS). We are currently supporting testing of AWIPS Build OB9 (Operational Build 9), which is scheduled for fielding beginning January 2009, and assisting with field support of OB8.3.
