This invention relates to a method of providing a simplified practice for dealing with aviation turbulence and other weather hazards that allows the end users to better communicate turbulence as a state of the atmosphere metric and the additional weather threats affecting the flight. The invention will provide an Atmospheric State Index (ASI) that will allow all the users to work with a standardized metric that describes the turbulence as the state of the atmosphere and a similar scale for other weather risks to the flight. This system will make the correlation between the forecast and aircraft reports for turbulence easier to interpret for the end users. This approach would concentrate on turbulence as one of the weather hazards with a more objective and easier to use metric. This invention would provide a transition for moving from a system based on turbulence PIREPS to a more objective data driven process in the future air traffic environment. This invention would provide an end solution for the future air traffic system commonly referred to as NextGen for both turbulence and other weather hazards.
