Abstract

See full text

The DYNAMIC STORM ENVIRONMENT ENGINE (DSEE) transforms flight profiles, atmospheric data, and convective and non-convective turbulence predictions and observations into dynamic turbulence alerts, nowcasts, and optimized flight paths. The DSEE determines four-dimensional grid points for a temporal geographic area and determines atmospheric potential instability and potential turbulence intensity at each grid point. The DSEE masks potential turbulence intensity at least one grid point and determines and outputs at least one of the TKE and the total EDR for each grid point. In some implementations, the DSEE receives a flight profile for an aircraft, including an initial route. The DSEE can identify an initial predicted comprehensive turbulence for the at least one initial route and/or turbulence nowcast, and the predicted comprehensive turbulence and/or turbulence nowcast utilized generate a notification or exception, and/or are used to reroute the aircraft to avoid or minimize the effects of turbulence on the flight.
