Session 7 Studies Involving Aviation Impacts Translation Modeling

Tuesday, 14 January 2020: 3:00 PM-4:00 PM
Host: 20th Conference on Aviation, Range, and Aerospace Meteorology

Effective weather impact management for aviation meteorology is often accomplished when decision-makers are well-informed not about the weather, but by how that weather may constrain or impact key operational resources or objectives. This is best accomplished through effective aviation impact modeling, which converts meteorological context to operationally-meaningful information and guidance. This session will include topics focused on the continued advancement and application of aviation weather impact translation models developed for various meteorological phenomena (e.g., convection, low visibility, winter weather, turbulence, hazards winds).
