National Focal Points for Aircraft-Based Observations
Aircraft-based observations, from early pilot reports to automated AIREPs and AMDAR systems, now provide accurate, high-volume upper-air data for forecasting and aviation. ICAO systems like Automatic Dependent Surveillance also enhance global monitoring and meteorological applications.
