  1. WEZARD - FP7, 4th call Presented by Ian Lisk Prepared by Ian Lisk, Met Office UK Deborah Lee, Met Office UK WEZARDWEather haZARDs for aeronautics CSA-SA WEZARD (285050)

  2. WEAZRD Project Overview (July 2011-June 2013) WEZARD Overview (July 2011-June 2013) • A European consortium, coordinated and led by Airbus, with the following objectives: • compile a list of the main weather hazards and their technical consequences on aircraft • perform a state of the art review of the research actions relating to these weather hazards • perform an in-depth analysis which will identify the gaps in the available knowledge, and the priority areas for improvement • provide a consolidated recommendation and roadmap report validated by the main stakeholders of the aeronautics community.

  3. WEZARD Project Structure WEZARD Structure

  4. WEZARD WP3 (Meteo) Partners WEZARD WP3 (Meteo) Partners • EUMETNET (consortium of 29 European National Met Services) • Met Office, UK (Lead: Ian Lisk, PM: Deborah Lee) • Meteo-France • Iceland Met Office • Deutscher Wetterdienst • IMAA on behalf of EARLINET (European LIDAR coordination) • DLR • AIRBUS

  5. Data Quality and Exchange WEZARD WP3 Objectives • Respond to key recommendations from recent reviews of the Icelandic eruptions of 2010 and 2011 • Review existing European VA/icing/dust related capabilities and projects • Capability gap analysis • Coordination with other related international activities • Deliver report detailing prioritised recommendations and a European R&D roadmap.

  6. High Priorities Identified by WEZARD WP3 “Research and development of existing, new and evolving volcanic ash observing technologies and dissemination systems to underpin the future realization of an integrated European volcanic ash observing network.” CSA-SA WEZARD (285050) - General Assembly • Improved observations of eruptive column at source • Additional measurements in downwind eruptive plume (close to the volcano) • Enhanced capabilities for the monitoring of distal VA • Ensure data exchange and data usability in near-real-time (NRT). Jan 2013 Page 6

  7. Integrated observing network – Why? “Research and development of existing, new and evolving volcanic ash observing technologies and dissemination systems to underpin the future realization of an integrated European volcanic ash observing network.” CSA-SA WEZARD (285050) - General Assembly Existing projects and activities do NOT address need for integrated volcanic ash observing system with ground-based, airborne and space-borne measurement capabilities • Current over reliance on satellite observations. • Further R&D required: • Lidar and ceilometer networks • Aerosol sondes & drop sondes • Aircraft mounted systems • UAS mounted systems • Existing capabilities currently mostly in research mode or not available in NRT • Differing data policies, standards, formats etc. Jan 2013 Page 7

  8. Data Quality and Exchange Fundamental to ultimate implementation of a fully integrated operational system Quality standards TRLs and accuracy requirements Metadata Resilience and back-up Maintenance schedules Liability issues Information dissemination Data hubs and data policy based on WMO standards Visualisation and interoperability requirements Archiving

  9. Why the EU and why another VA project? Why the EU? To ensure European-wide integration and harmonization EC DG-ECHO requirements ESFRI requirements Cross-industry, multi-discipline approach building on existing European infrastructures, projects and programmes Why another VA project? EVOSS FUTUREVOLC ESA funded projects Nationally funded projects.

  10. Benefits and Future Applications • Space-time evolution of volcanic events over large distances • Provide sufficient observational validation methods e.g. use of in-situ data to help process remote sensing data • Measurements from different sensors working in synergy. • Data integration into dispersion models • ‘Add value’ to raw model output for forecasters, and for post-event R&D • Cross-industry end-user requirements e.g. SESAR links, airline SRAs, GMES etc CSA-SA WEZARD (285050) - General Assembly Operational Integrated Observing System A synergy of in-situ and remote sensing techniques Jan 2013
