How do you decide that a thunderstorm is a threat to operations? Who should decide that? Are they qualified? How much operational pressure are they currently under? These are some of the questions airports, ground handlers and airlines have to answer, without sufficient regulatory support. The suspension and resumption procedures vary from airport to airport and depend on several factors such as lightning detection method and technology, availability of meteorologists, risk parameters and chosen safety buffers. The resulting solutions have been varied and often include a number of the following constraints:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ground handling stops based on meteorologist observations are often very conservative and especially re-opening decisions are delayed<\/li>\n<li>Ground handling stops based on operation personnel observations are accompanied by high inaccuracy and error rate<\/li>\n<li>Installed lightning detection systems are based on outdated technology or are inaccurate resulting in high error rate and therefore require extended safety time buffers<\/li>\n<li>No or just inaccurate

Nowcasting is the advanced interpellation of data from multiple sources to produce a thunderstorm \u201ctrack\u201d. The thunderstorm analysis uses LINET lightning data and available radar data in order to identify the location and intensity of thunderstorms. Using a time series of lightning fields, satellite data and\/or radar data combined with probabilistic steering fields supported by models, the track and movement speed of each analyzed thunderstorm can be predicted. This enables the prediction of the expected route and speed of thunderstorms cells in the vicinity of the airport. The unique model unlocks the answers to key questions such as: Will a storm cell encroach the aerodrome area? What time will the cell arrive? Does a proactive warning (alert) need to be issued?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-10q3l1l-63758b02bf9d1a23fdaee135f252d252\">\n.flex_column.av-10q3l1l-63758b02bf9d1a23fdaee135f252d252{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-10q3l1l-63758b02bf9d1a23fdaee135f252d252 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-53  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-jlxohkfp-50852e843eefa724e644bcdc9251ae8c'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>Thunderstorm General Unified Storm Alert System<\/h3>\n<p>UBIMET crunches the data in global datacenters and applies the proprietary software \u201cGAUSS\u201d (General Unified Storm Alert System) to automatically issue thunderstorm warnings via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ubimet.com\/en\/company\/ubimet-certificates\/\">ISO certified processes<\/a>.

The solution helps to minimize ground handling interruptions after thunderstorms and issuing an \u201call clear\u201d notifications to resume ground handling activities. Based on the high-precision and real-time lightning data from LINET, this new feature shows the \u201clightning-free\u201d time (e.g. 10 Minute Countdown since the last lightning flash) within the ICAO recommended radiuses of 5 \/ 8 nm after a thunderstorm. As soon as the countdown (which can be individually tailored to an airport) reaches zero ground handling activities can resume. The safety buffer time can be either defined by national legal requirements or based on the results of an in-depth UBIMET lighting risk study for that airport.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"

How do we make and communicate any decisions? And who makes the decisions?<\/p>\n<h3>Information flow issues<\/h3>\n<p>Decisions and warnings (alerts) are often made manually either by a phone call, email or manual activation of audio\/visual alarms. This process relies on those responsible to take reliable, quick and decisive action based on data from incumbent and outdated lightning detection systems. Due to the high-pressure environment surrounding stopping\/restarting ground handling operations, and the poor availability of accurate data, decisions are often conservative, time-intensive and unnecessarily reduce capacity.<\/p>\n<h3>The\u00a0false economy<\/h3>\n<p>A modern lightning detection and warning system use an integrated approach, making decisions based on highly precise data and distributing decisions, in real time and to exactly those who need to know. However, not all modern systems are developed equally, some systems still use outdated sensors as a basis for lightning detection. This combination of outdated technology with a modern interface leads to a false economy, producing inaccurate alerts quickly. Other systems use modern detection\u00a0networks but deliver data-heavy interfaces. These systems are often only usable for highly trained meteorologists and slow down the decision-making process due to information overload.<\/p>\n<h3>Integrated decision base tool<\/h3>\n<p>The unique and proven UBIMET system is a leading-edge solution. Data is combined in real time from multiple sources, including from the latest lightning detection system \u201cLINET\u201d, electrostatic field mills and weather data from airport specific weather models. UBIMET creates weather insights that form a solid decision base in critical situations. Decisions are then made and distributed via ISO certified distribution channels, within the Weather Cockpit\u00ae and according to individually tailored airport specific criteria. The colour-coded nowcasting map was designed with user experience in mind and complex real-time data has been transformed into easily readable information. Furthermore, the intuitive traffic light warning system alerts users to potential danger, via SMS, email, push notification, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ubimet.com\/en\/technology\/it-hyperlocal-weather-api\/\">API<\/a> and within the Weather Cockpit\u00ae.<\/p>\n<p>By combining the latest lightning technology developed in Germany, intuitive product design and proven message distribution channels, UBIMET has raised the bar in aviation lightning detection and warning systems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style
