=== Aviation ===
The NWS supports the aviation community through the production of several forecasts. Each area's WFO has responsibility for the issuance of [[Terminal Aerodrome Forecast]]s (TAFs) for [[airport]]s in their jurisdiction.<ref name="aviationweather.gov">{{cite web |title=AWC – Aviation Weather Center |url=http://aviationweather.gov/ |access-date=December 11, 2012 |publisher=National Weather Service}}</ref> TAFs are concise, coded 24-hour forecasts (30-hour forecasts for certain airports) for a specific airport, which are issued every six hours with amendments as needed. As opposed to a public weather forecast, a TAF only addresses weather elements critical to aviation; these include wind, [[visibility]], [[cloud|cloud cover]] and [[wind shear]].
