The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is the UN's specialized agency responsible for developing international standards and recommendations for aviation. At the 12-yearly MET Divisional Meeting in 2002, a recommendation was made to assess in consultation with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) the need for providing information on solar radiation storms. Since then,...

The European and Global air transport environment is gradually evolving
towards a fully time ordered system instead of the distance based system
of managing flying aircraft in European and Global skies. The supporting
Air Traffic Management functions will need to adapt from a technical
point of view and from the perspective how these services are delivered
to the users. Emilien ROBERT and...

Since mid 2013, the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium sends the output of the INCA-BE system in real-time to Belgocontrol, the Belgian air traffic safety authority. INCA-BE is a nowcasting system for the analysis and nowcasts of several meteorological fields, like temperature, humidity, wind, cloudiness, precipitation and some derived fields like precipitation type and visibility. It...

Solar energetic particle (SEP) events consist mainly of protons, electrons and He ions and are observed as sudden flux increases of several orders of magnitude above background levels. These events result from the acceleration of particles by solar flares and shocks generated by coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Specifically, earthward-directed SEP events that are magnetically well connected can...
