Turbulence Aware serves aviation
A global, industry-wide, data exchange platform, Turbulence Aware receives the existing airline data from ground servers, performs quality control, deidentifies data, and provides the data back to airlines via a ground-to-ground system-to-system connection.
- Turbulence Aware viewer via wifi – Mapped real-time turbulence reports inform your operational decision-making
- Integration with in-house or third-party flight planning or in-flight weather tools – To speed up decision-making
- EDR-based – Energy/eddy-dissipation rate (EDR) is a calculated estimate of the atmosphere’s turbulent state. It is NOT a measure of the response of an individual aircraft. It is the official ICAO & WMO metric for measuring turbulence intensity
- Detailed report available for each data point – Including time, altitude, aircraft position, mean and peak EDR values as well as wind and temperature data, to increase situational awareness
- Anonymized data – To protect airlines’ identity and privacy
- Technical assistance – IATA provides assistance to airlines looking to implement open source EDR reporting software developed by the National Center of Atmospheric Research (NCAR)
