Use of Satellite Wind Data to Monitor Dynamic Changes in Turbulence for Aviation

This study examines the influence of climate change on aeronautics and aviation, with a particular emphasis on the impact of climate change on vertical wind gusts. The research employs data from the Aeolus satellite, collected between 2019 and 2022, to provide a broad overview of the evolving intensity of wind gusts across seasonal and annual time scales. The high-resolution global wind observations provided by the Aeolus satellite offer invaluable insights into the temporal evolution of wind gusts. The research identifies notable trends in wind gust intensity, with shifts that have significant implications for flight safety and operational efficiency. The findings highlight the necessity of assessing long-term alterations in wind patterns and adapting aviation practices to address the challenges posed by evolving climate conditions. By enhancing predictive models and developing proactive measures to mitigate risks associated with increased gust intensity, the study aims to enhance the resilience of aviation operations. This study is a valuable resource for stakeholders, enabling them to refine operational strategies in response to dynamic environmental conditions and maintain safety and efficiency in a changing atmospheric landscape.
