Meteorology for the airports
Aviation depends on meteorology. At each stage of flight, weather information and forecasting are crucial components of aviation safety:
- Before flight: the observed or expected weather can lead to delay or cancel the flight or change the initial route.
- During take-off: the pilot must be informed of poor visibility on the runway, gust wind, wind shear, heavy precipitations …
- On the flight path: the pilot must be informed in advance of any possible incidents such as turbulence areas, cumulonimbus clusters location, jets, the risk of icing, volcanic ash, warnings issued by the National Meteorological Service of the country overflown during the flight.
- Before landing: the pilot must be informed of poor visibility, winds, wind shear, heavy precipitation ...
COROBOR Systems provides a dedicated solution to the local needs, designed for each kind of airport: international, national or military. This solution includes the next systems:
- MESSIR-COMM: meteorological data ingestion, storage and dispatch.
- MESSIR-SAT: reception and processing of satellite imagery.
- MESSIR-VISION: forecaster workstation.
- MESSIR-AERO: meteorological briefing for the pilots.
- MESSIR-NET: meteorological web portal to remote access to pilot meteorological briefing.
- MESSIR-CLIM: airport climate database and production of aerodrome climate summaries.
This solution can be linked to:
- National Meteorological Center
- AFTN (Aeronautical Fixed Telecommunication Network) or AMHS (Air Traffic Message Handling System)
- WAFC (World Area Forecast Centers) of London and/or Washington through FTP server.
- Local AWOS (Automated Weather Observing System)
- GTS (Global Telecommunication System of the WMO)
