Advance Weather Interactive Processing System. The main computer system that the National Weather Service uses to compose and transmit its forecasts and warning.
Stands for dvanced eather nteractive rocessing ystem. Cornerstone of the NWS modernization and restructuring. A high-speed computer system that integrates all meteorological and hydrological data, all satellite and radar data, and enables the forecaster to prepare and issue more accurate and timely forecasts and warnings.
the Advanced Weather Information Processing System; this new computer system integrates computer graphics, satellite and radar imagery. (This system is scheduled to be put in all National Weather Service offices by the end of the 1990s).
Acronym for Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System; a computerized system that processes data received at a NWS Forecast Office from various weather observing systems.
ADVANCED WEATHER INTERACTIVE PROCESSING SYSTEM. a computer system that collects and crunches data gathered from radar, satellite, and other data collection devices at NWS offices around the country to produce a “snapshot” of what the atmosphere will look like at a given time. This system is used extensively by forecasters to create different types of forecasts. The weather events simulator, a training tool, is also part of the AWIPS.

Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System. The computerized system that processes NEXRAD and ASOS data received at National Weather Service Forecast Offices.
Advanced Weather Information Processing System. New NWS computer system integrating graphics, satellite and radar imagery. The successor to AFOS.
Acronym for dvanced eather nteractive rocessing ystem. It is the computerized system that processes NEXRAD and ASOS data received at National Weather Service Forecast Offices.
An acronym for Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System. This computer system is now the backbone of the NWS; it replaces the old AFOS computer network. It consists of powerful minicomputers linked in a nationwide network to weather service offices and national centers. AWIPS workstations are able to simultaneously display real-time radar and satellite imagery as well as high-resolution model output graphics - all on the same screen
Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System. This system replaced the Automation of Field Operations and Services (AFOS). This system allows the operator to overlay meteorological data from a variety of sources.
