AN EVALUATION OF 2-7-HR AVIATION THERMINAL- FORECASTING TECHNIQUES

Abstract

An evaluation of short-period (2-7-hr) ceiling and visibility terminal forecasting techniques indicates that it is possible to prepare objective forecasts of these critical aviation weather parameters which yield a statistically significant improvement over those presently provided in routine operations. Two types of forecasts were examined: probability forecasts and categorical forecasts.
