New Display of WAFS Gridded Data released on 9/25/2013. This website demonstrates how the WAFS gridded data for turbulence, icing and Cb can be displayed. The display is not approved for use by either the FAA or ICAO, though the underlying gridded data are approved for use in support of flight planning. For more information on how to gain access to the underlying gridded data, see the WIFS website.
