3-7 December 2018 / Online
The EUMeTrain Event Week on Aviation Meteorology took place from 3 till 7 December. During this week, nine online lectures were given in eight sessions. Several presentations focused on turbulence — both clear air turbulence and convective turbulence. Different satellite products and their usage in aviation forecasting were shown. One session was dedicated to volcanic ash detection, as it has a large impact on aviation. Some special topics of aviation meteorology were also included, such as balloon forecasting or space weather.
At the end of the event week, the participants gained some knowledge about products and techniques helpful in forecasting for aviation.
The participation of the event was free and a good number of people attended each session. Every lecture will be published on the EUMeTrain website.
