Recent studies identify weather as the primary reason for delays and disruptions in the air transport system. For instance, during the summer months flights are often delayed or even cannot be operated because of thunderstorms in the terminal manoeuvring area, while during winter operations at the airports might be substantially affected by winter storms, snowfall and icing conditions. There is a clear need for integrated systems that analyse and forecast weather hazards for air traffic as precisely as possible in order to enable the mitigation of the weather hazard's effects.
