Methodological Issues of Improving the Efficiency of Meteorological Support for Regional Air Transportation

— The paper discusses methodological issues of improving the efficiency of meteorological support for regional air transportation. The authors provide a justification of the relevance of research aimed at improving the efficiency of meteorological support, taking into account regional features of the formation of hazardous meteorological conditions. The greatest attention was paid to the study of the climatic features of the Arctic region. The geographical location of the Arctic determines the specific annual and seasonal course of meteorological elements, the specifics of the formation of special (dangerous) conditions for Aviation flights. The possibilities of integrating the output of global hydrodynamic atmospheric models from leading meteorological centers of the Global Data-Processing and Forecasting System in the technology of medium-term multi-model forecasting of pressure fields are considered in this part. The authors propose to combine models of physico-statistical forecasting of weather elements with the method of synoptic interpretation of the output of the atmospheric hydrodynamic model for an average time. To solve the problem of the lack of observational data, the authors propose a methodological basis for constructing a complex of automated meteorological support for aircraft operations, which allows one to take into account regional climatic features of their areas of implementation.
