The AMC Display prototype for the RN WECDIS contract completed its development on October 19, 2005. This project focused on establishing user requirements without strict direction on symbology or color, utilizing existing AMC product specifications. It emphasized tailoring the display to user-specific environments and needs, addressing traditionally used meteorological formats. Key aspects included the modulation of color gradations and representation of data such as wind speed, temperature, and pressure in user-friendly units. The development also sought to balance data display and interrogation, achieving improved transparency and addressing ongoing symbology issues.

AMC Display • Prototype AMC display for RN WECDIS contract complete • Very general user requirement • Display AMC data • Interrogate AMC data • No direction as to symbology, colour etc. • Utilised draft AMC product specification for development baseline
AMC Prototype development • Development focused on user specific environment/needs vs. traditional Met environment • Colours and symbology • Colour gradations represent value ranges • Modified units for users • Wind speed- kts vs. m/s • Temperature- C vs. K • Pressure- mbars vs. Pascals • Wind vectors coloured as per contours • Sea level elevation for prototype
Ongoing issues • Transparency • Data display vs. data interrogation • Meta-data • Limited current information available • Symbology guidelines • Overall development of product specification
