Flight Planning Support

• Meteorological offices provide route forecasts including wind, temperature, and


turbulence charts.
• Helps pilots optimize altitude and route.

6. Aviation Meteorology Instruments and Tools

• Radiosondes: Measure temperature, humidity, and pressure in the upper atmosphere.


• Weather Radars: Detect precipitation and storm intensity.
• Satellites: Provide cloud cover, temperature, and storm movement data.
• Automatic Weather Stations (AWS): Give real-time data at airports.
• Wind Profiler and LIDAR: Measure vertical wind profiles.

7. International and National Meteorological Agencies

• ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization): Sets global standards for aviation
meteorology.
• WMO (World Meteorological Organization): Collaborates on global weather
observation and forecasting.
• National Meteorological Services: (e.g., IMD in India, NOAA in the USA) provide
localized weather data for civil aviation.

8. Integration with Air Traffic Management (ATM)

• Meteorological data is used in decision support systems for traffic flow management.
• Enhances situational awareness for controllers and pilots.
• Contributes to Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) between airports, airlines, and
ATC.

9. Aviation Weather Codes (Brief Overview)

• METAR: Routine weather report (every 30–60 minutes).


• TAF: Terminal forecasts.
• SIGMET: In-flight hazards.
• PIREP: Pilot weather reports.
• NOTAM: Notices that may include weather-related operational changes.
