Weather

Research in aviation weather is crucial for flight safety and efficiency. Advanced models and algorithms aim to improve real-time weather forecasting, mitigating risks and reducing operational costs. Continuous research in this area is vital for the aviation industry's growth and safety.

Highlights

Meteo-Particle model Python library
A Python library is introduced for wind field estimation based on the Meteo-Particle model. By employing ADS-B and Mode S data from aircraft, indirect wind and temperature measurements can be derived initially. These measurements are often unevenly distributed in the airspace. The Meteo-Particle model allows the assimilation of wind and temperature fields using these measurements, thereby overcoming the challenge posed by the distribution of the data.
Detection of turbulence from Mode S data in realtime
This is a join research with Xavier Oliver from ONERA, we present a novel method to detect turbulence experienced by aircraft based on Mode S data, emitted by transponders in reply to BDS 6,0 requests (heading and speed reports) sent by Secondary Surveillance Radars. By analyzing the variations in the vertical speed reported from different systems onboard, we are able to detect turbulence on ground in real time.
