1) To gather information on the climatological variation (seasonal and inter-annual characteristics) in the location and/or intensity of jet streams, aviation hazards (including icing, turbulence and convection) and extreme weather events impacting aerodrome, terminal area and/or en-route airspace design, operations and performance;
2) To support, in coordination with ICAO and other relevant aviation stakeholders, an analysis of the impact and mitigation of climate change and variability on aerodrome design and operations, airspace management and capacity optimization;
3) To support, in coordination with ICAO and other relevant aviation stakeholders, an analysis of the impact of climate change and variability on airframe and engine design and the performance envelope of aircraft.
