The WxFUSION concept can also be extended to handle winter weather conditions. Of particular importance here is the occurrence of in-flight and ground icing conditions at an aerodrome. Data from surface observations of precipitation type and intensity, of surface conditions (dry, liquid, frozen), of hydrometeor observations within clouds, and of aircraft observations of temperature and humidity can be fused. Work is underway to combine existing in-flight icing algorithms with the additional data sources available to build a corresponding winter weather module within WxFUSION.
