3.11.2 Meteorologist's tools
Meteorologists today have a wide range of modern tools at their disposal for
generating weather data and forecasts.
Data from satellites and weather radars is combined with observations from
meteorological stations to form the basis for the drawn forecast charts.
Current weather is indicated with the help of pilot reports about weather
conditions (AIREPs - Aircraft Reports – reports about actual weather conditions
during flight).
At larger airports, there is a weather service where you can get personal advice
from a meteorologist.
At smaller airports, weather information can be obtained during working hours
from the airport manager.
