Modern meteorological observations for aviation purposes
Abstract
The purpose of this article. Meteorological support for aviation is a component of the safety systems. With the development of aviation technology, the requirements for it are growing. Today, aviation remains the most demanding user of meteorological information. The main parameters that affect the aircraft’s aerodynamic characteristics include air temperature, wind direction, atmospheric pressure, the height of the lower cloud boundary, the amount of precipitation and the frequency of dangerous meteorological phenomena. The aim of the study is a spatio-temporal analysis of meteorological parameters at the air base Chuguiv, Kharkiv region.
Main material. Time series of daily average, average monthly air temperature, relative humidity, cloudiness, atmospheric pressure, atmospheric precipitation, wind direction and frequency of dangerous meteorological phenomena for the period 2008-2017 were processed as initial data. Changes in meteorological values during the year, season and month were studied. Favorable weather conditions for flights have been determined. Recommendations are developed regarding the performance of flights under various weather conditions.
To date, many different aircraft flight models have been developed in non-standard weather situations. In T.V.Safonova’s work the forecast of the indicators of airports functioning and flights on routes in difficult meteorological conditions is considered. Consequently, aviation must have timely meteorological information increasing the safety, regularity and economy of flights for effective implementation of practical tasks.
Conclusions. Analysis of the literature has showed that complex meteorological conditions create critical situations on routes and require further detailed study. To maintain a high level of meteorological service for aviation that meets international standards, it is necessary to conduct scientific and applied research in the field of aviation climatology and improve existing methods of aviation forecasting.
