The NWSTG includes
WMO Regional Telecommunication Hub (RTH) Washington
ICAO OPMET Databank (KWBCYMYX)
the ASOS Operations and Monitoring Center (AOMC)
• Operational oversight of U.S. federal automated surface observing systems
the AWIPS Network Control Facility (NCF)
• AWIPS is the main NWS’ system which supports the NWS forecast and warning mission requirement
• The NCF is the central communications hub and technical support center for AWIPS
