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 work with the NWS Aviation Weather Center; Range Standardization and Automation (RSA - Air Force/Lockheed Martin); FX-Collaborate, a Java system for forecaster collaboration; and continuing Linux port work.

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 working on our portion of AWIPS Build OB8.2 (Operational Build 8.2), which is scheduled for fielding beginning January 2008, supporting testing of OB8.1, and assisting with field support of OB7.2.
