The Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) is a technologically advanced
information processing,
display, and
telecommunications system that is the cornerstone of the
United States National Weather Service's (NWS) modernization and restructuring. AWIPS is an interactive computer system that integrates all
meteorological and
hydrological data, and all
satellite and
radar data and enables the forecaster to prepare and issue more accurate and timely forecasts and warnings. AWIPS has been implemented so the NWS will meet its mission "to provide weather and flood warnings, public forecasts, and advisories for all of the United States, its territories, adjacent water and ocean areas, primarily for the protection of life and property" more efficiently and effectively.
