MET

Atom™ can use upper wind models from standard WMO format Gridded Binary (GRIB) upper wind data or improved accuracy in fix-time estimation in a flight’s 4D trajectory.

For the controller, Atom™ will also display current METAR, SPECI and TAF data at each controller workstation for airports of interest.

Atom™ gives the Met Office the ability to send and receive messages over the AFTN.

Interfaces to other systems:

Atom™’s MET function allows MET offices and Agencies access to the AFTN.

The Atom™ advantage:

Atom™’s high level of integration allows the controller easy access to airport MET information and improves flight safety of fix-time estimation by use of upper winds forecasts.
