Description

Have you ever heard that a flight has been cancelled due to weather conditions? Weather is so important in aeronautics that it determines whether a flight can be done. On this station you’ll collect the necessary climate information to plan your flight. In the process you’ll learn the terminology used by scientists, learn to estimate the weather conditions using perception and then compare those estimates with real-time weather data.
