Expert Guide: From nowcasting to forecasting: Bridging the aviation weather data gap
Over 30% of accidents and 70% of flight delays globally are caused by weather.
The most critical phases of a flight, such as takeoff and landing, are particularly vulnerable to weather-related issues. Freezing conditions, low visibility, wind and windshear phenomena, convective weather and lightning are the most common weather phenomena that affect flight safety and efficiency.
To mitigate these impacts, new forecast-improving observation systems and methodologies are being developed to deliver accurate and reliable weather information to air traffic control. Vaisala, a global leader in weather observation systems, has been a trusted partner in aviation for almost 50 years and is at the forefront of developing instruments and intelligence that cover every angle of weather challenges.
