Presentation Transcript

  1. COST 722 WG iiMeteoSwiss • Observations/Measurements (1) • ca.100 automatic stations • ca. 40 of them with additional manual OBS • An additional 20 for special manual OBS for aviation (AERO) • 3 Weather-Radar Stations • 1 Radiosounding Station

  2. COST 722 WG iiMeteoSwiss • Observations/Measurements (2) • 2 international Airports with Semi-automatic OBS System (AMETIS 2) • Some Air Forces Air Bases with limited automatic OBS

  3. COST 722 WG iiMeteoSwiss – users requirements • Aviation communuty (Air Traffic Services, Pilots, operators) • Met.VIS (better: RVR) forecast • 9-18 h ahead, special threshold values (50m), duration -> Special TAF 0413 UTC • Trial of Airport Capacity MET Form (ICAO)

  4. COST 722 WG iiMeteoSwiss – users requirements • road communuty (road support, drivers) • Safety ! (fog: lowest VIS below 100 m) • Freezing fog on roads

  5. COST 722 WG iiMeteoSwiss – users requirements • General public • Touristic Sites: sun or clouds/fog ? • Top of stratus/clouds/fog ? -> economic impact !

  6. COST 722 WG iiMeteoSwiss – forecaster requirements • Status quo: use of climatology, statistics, some „Poor mans models“ - radiation • Better models (1 – d, site specific) • Post-processed output from limited area models (aLMo for alpine region) • Model output statistics (MOS) – TAF Guidance

  7. COST 722 WG iiMeteoSwiss – forecaster requirements • Fog/stratus recognition from SAT-OBS (NOAA, Meteosat, MSG) • Better visualisation (models, OBS, etc.)
