WMO OMM
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 and WIS
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

Observations and interest
During last CAeM (XV; 15 to 16 July 2014 ) limited interest
was expressed in observations in general.
However CAeM has a strong interest in:
• volcanic Ash (VA) observations,
• Space Weather,
• Nuclear emergencies
• Improved nowcasting (surface and upper air)
• Climate change issues (with impact on safety, economy
and regulatory of aviations).
• implementation of Quality Management Systems (QMS)
CAeM expects that the implementation of WIGOS will have a
beneficial impact in all these areas.

Volcanic Ash (VA)
• Co-operation with ICAO in the International Airways
Volcano Watch Operations Group (IAVWOPSG*)
• Co-operation with International Union of Geodesy and
Geophysics (IUGG) by the Volcanic Ash Scientific
Advisory Group (VASAG)
• To support the International Volcanic Ash Task Force
(IVATF) Science sub-group.
 Observations are essential, from satellites and surface
(LIDAR based: ceilometers)
*
Also active with Space Weather and Release of Radioactive Material into the
Atmosphere

Space Weather
•
An Inter-programme Coordination Team on Space
Weather (ICTSW) was already established in 2010
jointly with the CBS.
• Space weather observations, data exchange, product
and services delivery, and operational applications.
 Inputs to the draft ICAO Concept of Operations for
Space Weather Information Services

Nuclear emergencies
• Provision of SIGMET for radioactive clouds
• operational access to near real-time at-source
monitoring information
through the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Near-source atmospheric data, in particular wind
information, with which to initialize the dispersion
models remained high priority issues.
 WMO had provided inputs to the draft ICAO Concept of
Operations for Radioactive Material Information
Services

Other topics
Nowcasting and Mesoscale Modelling
Development of a joint Aviation Research Demonstration Project
(AvRDP) with CAS to with a view to demonstrate the capability of
nowcasting and mesoscale modelling techniques in support of
Trajectory Based Operations under the ASBU*s.
*The ICAO Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP) follows a consensus-driven Aviation System Block
Upgrades (ASBU) methodology which includes upgrade modules for Aeronautical Meteorology, in 5year blocks out to the timeframe of 2028.
Climate Change and Variability
Impacts of climate change and variability on aviation to be dealt
within coordination with the relevant WMO and ICAO bodies and
programmes such as the Global Framework for Climate Services
(GFCS) and the ICAO Committee on Aviation Environmental
Protection (CAEP).

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)
