This service is dedicated to support the Flow Management Position operator for decision making in relation with hazardous weather.
VigiAero algorithm crosses ATM and MET information in real time to deliver a diagnosis on the impact of hazardous weather on the air traffic control capacity.
VigiAero is currently available for 2 phenomena on Europe: convection (thunderstorms) and Clear Air Turbulence. Convection is based on a multimodel approach developed by MetSafe.
The weather impact is computed every five minutes for each ATC sector for the next twenty-four hours. The impact is delivered as a severity level based on Eurocontrol/EUMETNET unified risk matrix.
The impact is delivered as a severity level based on Eurocontrol/EUMETNET unified risk matrix.
The pre operational trials of VigiAero started in June 2020 in DSNA Reims En route Control Center.
Service is available for the Europe region.

Access to data service delivers on a global scale regulated meteorological products, real time adverse weather service (radar, satellite) and numerical weather prediction products.
State of the atmosphere services (wind sand, SO2\u2026) are also proposed based on COPERNICUS data.
Information is delivered through a SWIM yellow profile compliant API with ATM-grade quality of service.
MetSafe platform is powered by multiple meteorological sources. A partnership with M\u00e9t\u00e9oFrance and M\u00e9t\u00e9orage ensures access to the latest state of art meteorological products.
Beyond provision of access to data, MetSafe provides tailored expert services such as extraction of meteorological information around the 4D trajectory or weather impact prediction for ATFCM.
Our meteorological webservices are used operationally to support various applications: Air Traffic Control Working position, Electronic flight Bag, fuel optimisation for airline.
MetSafe is based in ENAC Incubator, Toulouse.

VigiAero brings the best of weather data in Europe. However numerical weather model have limitations.
For example, local phenomena may not be detected by weather model because of spatial resolution.
VigiAero used a mix of weather model both global (25km resolution) and local (up to 1.3 km). By using a multimodel approach and a confidence index, VigiAero aims at minimizing this uncertainty.

Adverse weather conditions are the first cause of traffic delay: the European Network Manager reported 4,8 million minutes of En-route weather delay in 2018, corresponding to 25% of total delayed En-route air traffic.
The air traffic control declares the ability to absorb the expected traffic with 6 hours of anticipation, therefore accurate and reliable meteorological data are needed by all ATM stakeholders for a better decision-making.
VigiAero aims at bring the power of data and automation to deliver the weather decision-support tool to support the Air Traffic Management Network in Europe.
Expected benefits are an increase of the weather awareness of all stakeholders, increased safety and informed optimized weather regulations that allow optimum flow management .
