ICG-WIGOS-6 12-14 January 2017 CAeM Report Jitze van der Meulen 4.1 Review of WIGOS activities and outcomes from WMO Technical Commissions (TCs) and the observing component of GCW CAeM Report Jitze van der Meulen (representing CAeM)

CAeM and WIGOS Aeronautical Meteorology is a core user of WIGOS and WIS, WIGOS will contribute to the improvement of aviation weather services, stimulating safety WIGOS uses aeronautical obs. Data, like METAR and AIREP

CAeM and WIGOS WIGOS and WIS CAeM and ICAO SARPs  TR Vol. 1 Surface based obs Space based obs  high resolution weather forecasts for aviation CAeM and ICAO SARPs  TR Vol. 2 (ICAO ANNEX 3) Aircraft based observations (AMDAR, ADS, Mode-S) Aerodrome based obs (METAR)  local Met. Services at Airports

CAeM and WIGOS Apart from the tradional observations, CAeM has a strong interest in: Volcanic Ash observations, Space Weather, Nuclear emergencies 4

CAeM and WIGOS Present themes for improving aeronautical meteorology: Improved nowcasting (surface and upper air) Climate change issues (with impact on safety, economy and regulatory of aviations). implementation of Quality Management Systems (QMS) 5

CAeM and WIGOS Opportunities and collaboration with TCs Space weather service CBS (ongoing - ICTSW) Volcanic Ash observing networks CAS, CBS, CIMO (planned WIGOS DP) Nowcasting and NWP CAS (planned RDP) Wake turbulence detection, AMDAR applications, etc CBS, CIMO Climate service for aviation GFCS 6

CAeM and WIGOS Challenges still to be addressed Promote WIGOS for Aero Met applications Stimulate co-operation with the aviation community (ICAO) to improve exchange of quality approved observational data Stimulate the aviation community to clearly state requirements for observations (RRR) 7
