Towards Measuring the Impact of Weather Phenomena on Arrival Management

PRU; DECEA

Abstract

TEASER With air transportation recovering around the globe, the policy focus shifts back to environmental protection and the climate change impact of air transportation. Arrival operations at airports form part of a substantial benefit pool. WHY IMPORTANT Little attention is currently given to the underlying mechanism of changing weather phenomena on arriving air traffic. APPROACH This paper presents the conceptual approach to describe arrival management sequencing as a spatio-temporal problem within 200NM around an airport. The success of the trajectory-based operations will be analysed in light of significant weather disruptions at the arrival airports and within the studied arrival horizon.

Hazard type	Shortcut	Threshold values
Thunderstorm	TSTM	ML CAPE >150 J kg-1, convective precipitation >0.25 mm h-1
Limited visibility	LIMV	Ceiling height <200 ft AGL, low-level cloud cover ¼100%
Low-level wind shear	LLWS	0–100 m AGL vertical wind shear gradient >3 kt per 100 ft
Snowfall	SNOW	Snowfall >0.5 mm h 1 (liquid water content equivalent)
