CICONIA MET is designing additional meteorological and climate services for aviation stakeholders, based on advanced aircraft sensing and connectivity.

Objective

CICONIA MET’s objective is to develop meteorological and climate services for Airlines, ANSPS and Network Managers which aim to improve flight safety and efficiency through enhancing mitigation actions for adverse weather conditions (convection, icing, turbulence) and reducing aviation’s environmental impact. These two services are supporting the optimisation of the trajectory in regards of climate and weather effects.

CICONIA MET makes use of existing and next generation aircraft sensor outputs as well as datalink infrastructure which can feed recently developed weather and climate forecast models. After sharing sensor data with ground services, the data set can be enriched with alternative ground sensor data and consumed by weather and climate forecast models. The results can then be shared through various links with end users to apply the services.

The project will design the service and data architecture, define interfaces and support the standardization activities to facilitate follow on services. The results will be validated in lab-based exercises as well as flight tests.

The contribution will build on previous SESAR projects like CICONIA, FCDI, PJ.14-W2-110 “Aircraft as an AIM/MET sensor and consumer” and EUROCAE WG-76 and RTCA SC-206 MET datalink standardization activities

The consortium composition contains a wide variety of OEMs, avionics and communication suppliers, weather services and research organizations, airlines and ANSPs. Additionally, a Stakeholders Outreach Body will federate external organisations and share CICONIA MET results.
