What Does an Aviation Meteorologist Do?

Aviation meteorology is the study of the relationship between meteorological conditions and flight activities and aviation technology, the methods and methods of aeronautical meteorological services, and the meteorology of spacecraft when flying in the earth's atmosphere. Aviation meteorology belongs to the category of applied meteorology. Meteorological conditions have different effects on aircraft take-off, navigation, landing and various other flight activities. The design and manufacture of aircraft and weather conditions are also closely related. In actual work, the main task of aviation meteorology is to ensure flight safety, improve navigation efficiency, and effectively use aviation technology under different weather conditions.

Aviation meteorology is an applied science that directly serves aviation. It studies the various meteorological issues that arise in aviation practice. In order to ensure flight safety, improve flight punctuality, and save fuel, we need to have the latest and most accurate weather information and high-quality aviation weather services. [2]
Modern aeronautical meteorology includes principles of aeronautical meteorology, aeronautical meteorological detection, aeronautical weather forecast, aeronautical climate and aeronautical meteorological service automation. [4]
Aviation Meteorological Service
Aviation meteorological services are usually controlled by aviation meteorological observation posts, airport meteorological stations (stations), regional aviation
Aviation Meteorological Service Station
It consists of a central weather room and a national-level aviation meteorological center. According to the different needs of civil and military, each country generally has two sets of aviation weather service agencies of civil aviation and air force. Worldwide aviation meteorological service agencies have regional civil meteorological centers of the International Civil Aviation Organization (such as Europe, Asia, etc.).
Aviation meteorological equipment
It mainly includes aerial meteorological observation (exploration) surveying equipment, meteorological information transmission and terminal equipment, various types of computers and some special equipment. Meteorological satellites and weather radars are important modern aviation meteorological equipment. Meteorological satellites can provide visible cloud images, infrared cloud images, aerial wind fields, the location and intensity of high-altitude jets, and vertical distribution of temperature and water vapor. Through the analysis of satellite data, accurate atmospheric wind forecasts for international routes can be obtained, so that long-distance navigation accidents are greatly reduced. Meteorological radars include wind measurement, cloud measurement, and rain measurement. Among them, the rain measurement radar is an effective tool for grasping strong convective weather that poses a serious threat to flight safety.
Aeronautical meteorological information
The aeronautical meteorological information mainly includes various observational and observational data, including air temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind direction, wind speed, cloud and visibility, and other measured data, as well as meteorological satellite data and weather radar pictures. In addition, there are various weather reports and aviation weather forecasts, various aviation dangerous weather alerts and notifications, and so on. This information is the basic basis for the implementation of meteorological support, of which the weather forecast is important meteorological information provided directly to air crews and aviation control departments. Modern aviation weather forecast is developing in the direction of objectivity, quantification and short-term.
