<strong>Aviation</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Atmosphere</strong><br />

With regard to <strong>the</strong> accuracy of meteorological information, introduction of <strong>the</strong> final phase of WAFS will increase <strong>the</strong> quality of meteorological information provided.<br />

However, future improvements in accuracy will depend significantly on <strong>the</strong> availability of frequent automatic dependent surveillance (ADS) reports, which include a<br />

meteorological information data block. Improved observing <strong>and</strong> forecasting techniques for volcanic ash <strong>and</strong> clear-air turbulence will eliminate overprediction of airspace<br />

affected by <strong>the</strong>se phenomena, which can restrict <strong>the</strong> use of airspace. In <strong>the</strong> terminal area, integrated terminal wea<strong>the</strong>r systems will improve <strong>the</strong> accuracy of information<br />

provided regarding hazardous wea<strong>the</strong>r phenomena. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, real-time wind models run by ATC computers, based on ADS reports obtained during <strong>the</strong> climb-out<br />

phase, will be used to monitor <strong>the</strong> evolution of <strong>the</strong> wind field, which is required by ATC for sequencing of approaching aircraft.<br />
