Concatenating weather monitoring and forecast: the WxFUSION concept

Abstract

The meteorological network of observation and prediction continuously delivers an enormous amount of various atmospheric parameters. In particular in the area of an aerodrome the observation density is typically higher than on average. In the project we spawned the idea to smartly concatenate the variety of available data which are relevant for aviation and develop new products which use the information contained in the data but describe the phenomenon of interest in a simple and unambiguous way for direct use for the aviation stakeholders. We developed this idea in a concept and related system named WxFUSION, meaning “weather forecast user-oriented system including object nowcasting”.
