• A European consortium, coordinated and led by Airbus, with the following objectives: compile a list of the main weather hazards

and their technical consequences on aircraft

perform a state of the art review of the research actions relating to these weather hazards

perform an in-depth analysis which will identify the gaps in the available knowledge, and the priority areas for improvement

provide a consolidated recommendation and roadmap report validated by the main stakeholders of the aeronautics community.

High Priorities Identified by WEZARD WP3

• Improved observations of eruptive column at source

• Additional measurements in downwind eruptive plume (close to the volcano)

• Enhanced capabilities for the monitoring of distal VA

• Ensure data exchange and data usability in near-real-time (NRT).

Integrated observing network – Why?

Existing projects and activities do NOT address need for integrated volcanic ash observing system with ground-based, airborne and space-borne measurement capabilities

Current over reliance on satellite observations.

Further R&D required:– Lidar and ceilometer networks– Aerosol sondes & drop sondes– Aircraft mounted systems– UAS mounted systems Existing capabilities currently mostly in

research mode or not available in NRT Differing data policies, standards, formats etc.

Data Quality and Exchange

• Fundamental to ultimate implementation of a fully integrated operational system

• Quality standards

– TRLs and accuracy requirements

– Metadata

– Resilience and back-up

– Maintenance schedules

– Liability issues

• Information dissemination

– Data hubs and data policy based on WMO standards

– Visualisation and interoperability requirements

– Archiving

Why the EU and why another VA project?

• Why the EU?

– To ensure European-wide integration and harmonization

– EC DG-ECHO requirements

– ESFRI requirements

– Cross-industry, multi-discipline approach building on existing European infrastructures, projects and programmes

• Why another VA project?

– EVOSS

– FUTUREVOLC

– ESA funded projects

– Nationally funded projects.

Benefits and Future Applications

Operational Integrated Observing SystemA synergy of in-situ and remote sensing techniques

• Space-time evolution of volcanic events over large distances

• Provide sufficient observational validation methods e.g. use of in-situ data to help process remote sensing data

• Measurements from different sensors working in synergy.

• Data integration into dispersion models

• ‘Add value’ to raw model output for forecasters, and for post-event R&D

• Cross-industry end-user requirements e.g. SESAR links, airline SRAs, GMES etc
