Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Interactive Information
Processing Systems (IIPS) for Meteorology, Oceanography, and Hydrology, San
Diego, CA (January)
This paper presents initial results from the Weather Prediction Uncertainty
Management And Representation (PUMAR) project sponsored by the Army Research
Laboratory, White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The goal of the PUMAR
project was to cognitively engineer a user-friendly software tool to effectively
communicate weather forecast uncertainty to a decision-maker assessing weather
impacts.
