Top Impacting Factors
Improving safety in airplane operations
Weather can
significantly affect airplane operations. Low cloud, fog and rain may impede
visibility at or around an airport, while thunderstorms and lightning can cause
severe disruption to flight schedules. Accurate weather is critical to
aviation, as it can significantly impact the flight – both economically and
physically- especially on commercial airlines.
Weather
forecasting service plays an essential role in airplane operations. According
to The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), flight safety has been
a primary concern. Growing safety concerns and advancements in airplane
operations have led to a more accurate forecast for different weathers. For
instance, the implementation of two global initiatives: the World Area Forecast
System (WAFS) and the International Airways Volcano Watch (IAVW), has helped a
smooth operation of the airplane industry over the estimated period.
Growth of renewable energy sector
According to the
International Energy Agency, the world's renewable energy capacity jumped 45%
in 2020. It's the most significant annual rate of increase since 1999. The rise
of volatile wind and solar power in Germany's electricity generation is one of
the driving factors for the growth of the renewable energy sector.
For instance,
German power supplier Next Kraftwerke operates a large-scale virtual power
plant that integrates many renewable facilities – wind power, solar PV, biogas
– into one virtual complex. Thus predicting the power feed-in is much better
than other electricity marketers.
Integration of weather forecasting services
by transport and logistics sectors
The transport and
logistics sectors have a different approach to weather safety, and to continue
their operations in various regions, they follow separate customized weather
information. The rise in weather-related automobile crashes has witnessed a
surge in demand for weather forecasting services over the estimated period. For
instance, according to the U.S. Department of Transport (DOT), weather-related
automobile crashes have killed an average of 5,376 people annually, accounting
for about 16 per cent of all vehicular deaths, with more than 418,000 injuries
each year.
For comparison,
the 10-year average combined number of deaths each year from flooding,
lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes and heat is 379.

weather type during the last 30 years.
