What is it about?

The meteorological and oceanographic conditions are crucial for the successful launch of aerospace vehicles. However, the decision-making process using environmental information is a complex problem, since it depends on a constant review of current and future weather conditions.

Why is it important?

This paper aims to be the first attempt to map out the systemic view of applied meteorology for the launch missions of aerospace vehicles.

Perspectives

The paper shows that the Aerospace Meteorology needs to improve technical processes and to develop a weather decision support system with a decision-makers’ preferences regarding the uncertainty in weather forecasts.
