Nav Canada is leading the creation of a free online resource called the Nav Canada Aviation Meteorology Reference (AvMet). The resource is designed to provide a universal understanding of weather terms significant to the aviation industry. AvMet aims to merge operational and meteorological information.

“We will explain the science behind the weather, tie it to real-world events through forecast products and resultant observations, and discuss potential impacts,” said Sophie Splawinski, SavMet project manager, co-leader, and shift manager at Nav Canada. “The way the weather can impact commercial and general aviation pilots, dispatchers, airports, and air navigation services can vary greatly. So, when making decisions that impact a broad range of groups, it’s imperative to have a common understanding of meteorological terminology in real-time.”
