Abstract:
1. A method of providing a prediction of atmospheric parameters for an aircraft, comprising: collecting a statistical description of at least one of a weather forecast or historical weather data; processing current atmospheric data received from sensors on-board the aircraft; forming modeled data based on the processed current atmospheric data and the statistical description of at least one of the weather forecast and the historical weather data; defining a weighted blending and weighted parameters between modeled data of the current atmospheric data and at least one of the weather forecast and the historical weather data, and an estimation of mean values and a standard deviation of atmospheric data; blending the standard deviation of the modeled data with the at least one of a statistical description of the weather forecast or the historical weather data to provide weighted blended data, wherein the standard deviation of the modeled data is calculated by the formula ( predicting atmospheric parameters along planned trajectory based on the weighted blended data.
