Better and more proactive decisions are being made by commercial airline operation centers and other aviation service providers using various forms of weather uncertainty. This not only includes probability forecasts, but also considers risk exposure, forecast confidence (from various sources) and creative ways to use model ensemble data. This session will highlight users and weather providers that are working to make safer and more cost efficient decisions for the flying public.
