Division 5.1.4 Meteorological information exchange

Operational stakeholders shall implement services which support the exchange of the following meteorological information using the yellow SWIM TI Profile:

• Meteorological prediction of the weather at the airport concerned, at a small interval in the future:

  • wind speed and direction

  • the air temperature

  • the altimeter pressure setting

  • the runway visual range (RVR)

• Provide Volcanic Ash Mass Concentration

• Specific MET info feature service

• Winds aloft information service

• Meteorological information supporting Aerodrome ATC & Airport Landside process or aids involving the relevant MET information, translation processes to derive constraints for weather and converting this information in an ATM impact; the system capability mainly targets a ‘time to decision’ horizon between 20 minutes and 7 days.

• Meteorological information supporting En Route/Approach ATC process or aids involving the relevant MET information, translation processes to derive constraints for weather and converting this information in an ATM impact; the system capability mainly targets a ‘time to decision’ horizon between 20 minutes and 7 days

• Meteorological information supporting Network Information Management process or aids involving the relevant MET information, translation processes to derive constraints for weather and converting this information in an ATM impact; the system capability mainly targets a ‘time to decision’ horizon between 20 minutes and 7 days

Service implementations shall be compliant with the applicable version of AIRM, the AIRM Foundation Material and the ISRM Foundation Material.
