Session 12 Decision Support and Forecast Uncertainty for Aviation, Range, and Aerospace Decision-Making I

Wednesday, 15 January 2025: 4:30 PM-6:00 PM
354 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)
Host: 25th Conference on Aviation, Range, and Aerospace Meteorology
Cochairs:

There are many different meteorological impacts that affect a go/no-go decision. Operators take into account everything from current conditions to forecast models and must understand the caveats such as uncertainty that go along with those measurements. This session will focus on operational topics in aviation, range, and aerospace meteorology
