    1. Future Challenges and Opportunities in Aviation Weather Services WMO CAeM Technical Conference “How Can We Better Meet Current and Future Needs of Aviation?” Geneva, Switzerland, 21-22 November 2006 CM Shun Hong Kong Observatory Hong Kong, China

    3. Where are we? The bad news is ….

    4. Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA)

    5. Global environment Increasing traffic Increasing fuel price Increasing vulnerability to hazards Greenhouse warming ? increasing TC intensity?

    6. ICAO Strategic Objectives Safety Security Environmental protection Efficiency Continuity Rule of law

    7. ICAO Strategic Objectives Safety (wind shear, turbulence, icing, …) Security Environmental protection (CAEP) Efficiency (airport capacity, ATM, …) Continuity (volcanic ash, TC, tsunami, …) Rule of law

    8. Competition Single European Sky Between major hubs, regional airports Emergence of Aero MET service providers WNI, Lido, WSI, ARINC, SITA, Jeppesen, ….

    9. Future of NMHS in AeM? Quality service Cost-effective Versatile to changes Reaching out to users

    10. Future of NMHS in AeM – insights from “Book of Change”

    11. Future of NMHS in AeM? Science: quality service Effective: cost-effective Trend: versatile to changes Users: reaching out

    12. Quality Service

    13. Basic Services METAR TAF SIGMET Flight documents (WAFS products)

    14. RA II Pilot Project on AeM

    15. SIGMET – monitoring

    16. SIGMET – education & training

    17. Seminars RA II Pilot Project VCP seminar in March 2007 ASIA/PAC SIGMET seminar in July 2007

    18. Cost-effective

    19. Satisfy increasing demands at same/lower costs …

    20. Aviation Digital Data Service

    21. Automation MET flight planning (AMIDS, ADDS) Paperless cockpit (EFB) Aerodrome observation (Auto METAR) Aerodrome forecasts (Auto TAF) and warnings (wind shear alert)

    22. Versatile to Changes Annex 3/Tech Reg C.3.1 amendments New user requirements and trends

    23. Decision Support for Airport – an example in France

    24. Decision Support for ATM

    25. Decision Support for Airlines

    26. New Modes of Info Delivery Weather information uplink Weather data downlink Short message service (SMS) Personal digital assistant (PDA) service

    27. Weather Info Uplink - Future

    28. Weather Info Uplink – is it possible today?

    29. Weather Info Uplink – is it possible today?

    30. Weather Info Downlink AMDAR of course ADS-B being studied by ICAO to supplement ADS-C

    31. Changes in WAFS Replacement of SIGWX charts by gridded forecasts of convection, icing and turbulence Opportunity for improving visualization of forecasts for end users

    32. Reaching out to Users User expectation ?? limitation of science Study and understand user requirements Airlines, pilots, ATM, airport authority, … Education and training

    33. Different Levels of Dialogue Day-to-day weather briefings Wind shear briefing Dispatcher training Airline liaison group General aviation liaison group Wind shear user group MET/ATM coordination meeting ICAO MET/ATM coordination seminar
