Rain or shine? Improving weather forecasting in air traffic management
|
Predicting the weather relies on timely and accurate forecasts, which is easier said than done given how quickly the conditions can evolve. A newly-launched SESAR project, FMP-MET, will look at how to better predict and assess the impact of the weather on air traffic operations, as Alfonso Valenzuela, one of the principal researchers in the project explains in this interview.

Digital Sky Vodcasts: COVID-19 - A game changer for aviation?
|
There can be no denying that the Coronavirus pandemic has changed aviation fundamentally. Yet, to date, the focus has been on surviving the crisis and the sudden plunge in traffic. However, as the situation stabilises it is time to turn to thinking through the deeper implications for European aviation. The SESAR JU is committed to driving that conversation. Over the course of July, it convened a series of senior leaders of the industry to discuss these issues.
