Meteorological conditions play an important role in air traffic safety, and highly accurate real-time weather data is essential for air traffic management. In its latest edition, Meteorological Technology International has dedicated an article to next level cloud observation, featuring Reuniwatt’s sky imager Sky InSight™. You can find the article in the September 2024 edition, pp. 105-107.
Taking the right decisions: cloud analysis for aviation safety
Infrared all-sky imagers, such as the patented the Sky InSight™ developed by Reuniwatt can provide the continuous two dimensional tracking and forecasting of the cloud cover. The use of the IR technology enables an unprecedented accuracy for day & night cloud detection, while catching additional information on the cloud ceiling and anticipating the cloud cover from any direction. The information provided can include cloud fraction and cloud classification, as well as a full panoramic view. Last but not least, using sequences of images taken every 30 seconds allows the observers and controllers to get the information of cloud towering at far distances and analyse the capacity of becoming hazardous when approaching the airport.
