Aviation Meteorology: Current Status and Perspective

Dear Colleagues,

Aviation safety and efficiency are both impacted by the weather. It is a significant factor in flight disruptions, delays, and, in the worst instances, crashes. Wind shear is an important aspect of aviation safety because it can drastically alter aircraft lift during takeoff and landing, putting everyone on board in danger. It is caused by microbursts from thunderstorms, temperature inversions, and surface obstructions, and has a negative impact on the efficiency of airport operations. Analysis of such weather conditions is of the utmost importance from a safety standpoint. Articles in this Special Issue cover a wide range of topics related to aviation meteorology and aviation safety. The latest developments in numerical simulation as well as statistical and AI modeling of various aspects concerning aviation meteorology will be included in this section. We also hope that the Special Issue will serve as an important reference point for researchers investigating airport operational aspects and civil aviation safety.
