Innovative Integration of Severe Weather Forecasts into an Extended Arrival Manager

In the H2020 project “Satellite-borne and INsitu Observations to Predict The Initiation of Convection for ATM” (SINOPTICA), an air traffic controller support system was extended organize approaching even under severe weather conditions. During runtime, days with extreme events in Po Valley were analyzed, arrival manager a module 4D diversion trajectory calculation, two display variants conditions primary developed, airport Milano Malpensa modelled simulation. On meteorological side, three new forecasting techniques developed better nowcast affecting tactical operations used automatically traffic. Additionally, short-range forecasts high spatial resolution elaborated using radar-based nowcasting numerical prediction model data assimilation. This information integrated into sequencing guiding aircraft adverse situations. combination fast reliable nowcasts guidance enables coordination visualization its dynamics on situation displays.
