European and U.S. Perspectives on the Sharing and Integration of Weather Information into ATM Decisions

Weather is a major source of operational air traffic delays, accounting for 25 to 70% of all delays dependent of the geographical region. In today 's air traffic management (ATM) systems, a variety of weather information is available to help tactical and strategic planners better anticipate weather events that impact airspace capacity. Regretfully, the information is not always shared among all the stakeholders involved or well integrated into the existing ATM environment. This paper describes the high-level concepts for an improved sharing and integration of weather information into air traffic management decisions, as well as the current state and anticipated capabilities or the underlying information management infrastructure.
