Abstract --
Modern aircraft can operate in virtually all kinds of weather, but
unpredicted severe conditions, such as wind shear or heavy icing,
can prove deadly. Furthermore, the environmental situations within
and in the vicinity of air fields affect the operation deeply. Therefore,
an understanding and timely monitoring of weather conditions is
required for safe operation of aircraft. In this project, influences
of typhoon related severe weather on civil air transportation are
investigated, analyzed, and studied through data analysis and numerical
simulation. Our major goal is in twofold, on is to document the
historical events and learning the key issues of them, the second
one is to establish a useful procedure method for severe weather
forecast. In this first year report some climatological data and
case studies are presented.
