One of the purposes of WMO is to further the application of meteorology to aviation. The Aeronautical Meteorology Programme (AeMP) has the main long-term objective of ensuring worldwide, reliable provision of high quality, timely and cost-effective meteorological service to aviation users worldwide.

The Commission for Aeronautical Meteorology (CAeM), one of eight WMO technical commissions, is the driving force behind the AeMP and provides guidance and coordination through expert working groups.

In the field of aeronautical meteorology, WMO coordinates and collaborates closely with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a sister specialized agency of the United Nations. WMO and ICAO have had a formal working arrangement since the early 1950s. WMO has established agreements with a number of other organizations and associations, including the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

The provision of meteorological service to international air navigation is highly standardized and harmonized through standards and recommended practices developed by ICAO and WMO and published in ICAO Annex 3 and WMO Technical Regulations (WMO-No.49), Volume II- Meteorological Service for International Air Navigation.

Implementation by aeronautical meteorological service providers of the ICAO and WMO regulations related, for example, to quality management systems (QMS) and the competency of aeronautical meteorological personnel are a high priority for WMO and for the CAeM. WMO provides assistance to its Members in aeronautical meteorological service provision through training courses, development of guiding materials and other capacity development activities.

2017 WMO Aeronautical

Meteorology Scientific Conference

Objectives and theme

Key figures

Expected outputs

The objective of the AeroMetSci conference is to provide a forum where representatives of the research community, service providers, users of aeronautical and meteorological information and services will have the opportunity to discuss the needs for science and

research in support of the current and future aviation transport.

The globally interoperable, harmonized air

traffic management (ATM) system of the

future, as conveyed in the ICAO’s Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP) and its Aviation System Block Upgrades (ASBU) methodology, will require a new generation of meteorological information and services and their full integration through System-Wide Information Management (SWIM).

The Conference will provide an overview on the current state-of-the-art and foreseen advances in aeronautical meteorology science and technology, and will consider the faster transfer of these advances into operations.

Scientific research and development for future aeronautical

meteorological services in a changing atmospheric environment"

The Conference will formulate a set of recommendations to inform how to better plan the scientific research activities for the next 15 years consistent with the evolving user needs and expectations.

This event will embrace and strengthen community partnerships that already exist at a national and regional level and will establish new partnerships fostering regional and global collaboration. It will consist of three thematic sessions of scientific presentations and case studies, each including panel discussions, as well as two poster sessions.

It is expected that this unique event will contribute to a common vision for scientific research and development activities aligned with the evolving needs and expectations of international civil aviation. Also, it will stimulate special research focusing on how to address identified top priority areas of high impact weather affecting safety and efficiency of the aviation. In addition, the event will raise the awareness of the potential impacts of climate change and variability on aviation operations today and in the future.

The expected outputs of this unique event will include recommendations and a statement as well as the production of a WMO Publication (comprising full scientific articles/presentations) and other relevant and related materials to be used to report the outcomes of the event to WMO, ICAO and other interested parties.

Aeronautical meteorological service provision is supported worldwide by:

1 000s

of aeronautical meteorological stations (AMS) and aerodrome meteorological offices (AMO)

+numerous

other facilities including Regional OPMET Databanks and Regional OPMET Centres

+250

meteorological watch offices (MWO)
