EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1
The Expert Team on Communication, Coordination and Partnership (ET-CCP) was set
up through the restructuring of the Commission for Aeronautical Meteorology at its fifteenth
session (CAeM-XV) held in Montreal, Canada, from 15 to 16 July 2014. The ET-CCP in the new
CAeM structure for the period 2014-2018 would coordinate an encouraging response from the
Commission to the requests for advice and guidance, enabling the Regional Associations to
align their Strategic Operating Plans with the recommendations made at the ICAO/WMO
Conjoint meeting in Montreal, including ICAO GANP and ASBU implementation. Monitoring and
evaluation (M&E) tools throughout the WMO Regions/sub-regions would be used by ET-CCP to
identify gaps/challenges, as well as weaknesses and successes, in the Members in meeting the
requirements for enhanced meteorological service delivery arising from the GANP and ASBU
strategies.
1.2
The ET-CCP is composed of five core members, with the involvement of non-core
members or invited experts who might be helpful in the implementation process. The list of noncore members can be extended for more experts who are seen efficient and able to carry out
complementary work.
In the current composition the regional representation is as follows:
RA I – 3/RA II – 3/RA III – 1/RA IV – 2/RA V – 0/RA VI – 4. A request was made to the
President of RA V – Dr Andi Eka Sakya from Indonesia to nominate an appropriate expert or
experts for inputs to our team.
1.3
Within the period 2014-2018 the following activities would be of prime importance for the
team:

To ensure coordination between CAeM, Regional Associations and partner organizations
through regional aviation task teams/subgroups on issues of service improvements;

To establish a two-way communication mechanism with the relevant RA teams to provide
sound advice and clear guidance on AeM-related gaps and challenges arising from GANP
and ASBU;

To work proactively with aviation task teams/subgroups in the Regions in achieving CAeM
OP deliverables in line with the agreed KPTs;

To keep the CAeM Management Group informed of the on-going changes in the MET
service delivery at the regional/sub-regional levels;

To identify the regional gaps/challenges in meeting the requirements for enhanced
meteorological service delivery in the intersessional period;

To develop an effective mechanism for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of the CAeM work
programme in line with the WMO M&E system;

To analyse the progress made in the Regions for collection of best practice examples;

To facilitate sharing of the best practice examples among the Regions;

To mobilize the CAeM resources to improve the current MET capabilities in the Members;

To demonstrate the best practice examples in the MET community.

PROGRESS/ACTIVITY REPORT
Coordination within ET-CCP and with MG
2.1
CAeM ET-CCP Teleconference-1 (2 March 2015)
2.1.1 As long as motivated participation remains high, group dynamics are always successful.
Initial activities therefore focused on getting the team experts involved and fostering smooth
team relations. The first teleconference called on 2 March 2015 was aimed to clarify team
responsibilities and expectations, seek feedback on the items of the work plan and maintain
equitable participation. Totally, seven experts participated in the teleconference, including four
core experts. The team experts discussed the following issues, namely: a) the Terms of
Reference of the ET-CCP based on the MET/DIV-14 Recommendations/CAeM-15 Resolutions;
b) the work plan and expert inputs to the work plan implementation; c) interactions with other
CAeM ETs, ICAO/IATA aviation task teams/subgroups; d) planning for face to face meetings.
2.1.2 All experts made short introductions, showing acquired meteorological experience in
their services and work done in different WMO/ICAO expert/task teams.
2.1.3 The terms of reference of the ET-CCP aligned with the Recommendations of the MET
DIV Meeting and the Resolutions of CAeM-15 made in Montreal, Canada, in July 2014 were
used as a starting point of encouraging discussions.
2.1.4 The team experts focused on the work plan approved in January 2015, paying special
attention to the implementation areas and target stakeholders, which range from WMO Regions
to regional/subregional aviation task teams/subgroups. The experts were informed on:

Regional officers in all WMO Regions. Updates on the elections recently held during the
16th session of the Regional Association I (Praia, Cabo Verde, 3-9 February 2015)
showed that Dr Bah (Guinea), President of RA I, was succeeded by Dr Amos Makarau
(Zimbabwe).

Priority areas and urgent tasks to be fulfilled to help the Regions meet the GANP and
ASBU requirements, including involvement in the regional/subregional projects,
participation in the regional/subregional expert teams/groups, collection of best practices
examples,
provision
of
advice,
consultation
and
guidance
at
the
meetings/workshops/conferences.
2.1.5 The experts reported accordingly on what was going on in their Regions, i.e.:



The RA I report briefed on the recently held sixteenth session of Regional Association I
(Praia, Cabo Verde, 3-9 February 2015).
The RA II report mentioned two regional events held in end-2014, namely: a) the RA II
Expert Group on Aeronautical Meteorological Services Delivery (EG-AeM) (Hong Kong,
10-12 November 2014); and b) the 6th session of Regional Conference on Management
of NMHSs in RA II (Asia). In addition, he noted that RA II EG-AeM highlighted regional
challenges and set future work directions aimed to address current deficiencies, inter
alia, in the QMS implementation and SIGMET issuance, as well as to initiate work on
capacity building towards GANP/ASBU strategies. The RECO-6 highly appreciated
regional/subregional partnership/twinning projects.
The RA III report informed on an AMP competence assessment meeting held in
November for sharing competence expertise. ICAO South American (SAM) Office in
CAeM/MG-2015/Doc. 4.1.1, p. 4


Lima initiated teleconferences which will be held monthly. Most of the Members in the
Region lack National Air Navigation Plans.
The RA VI (Western Europe) report reminded of the SES Programme which was
designed to harmonize the EU. Indeed, small EU countries are striving to provide much
needed regionalized meteorological information. Most coordination work is done through
METG/EANPG meetings held in Paris.
The RA VI (Eastern Europe) report stressed the importance of holding regional events,
like the mentioned above RECO-6 in RA II. The forthcoming regional events– the
Aviation Conferences – are scheduled for late 2015 (November?) in RA VI and early
2016 in RA II.
2.1.6 An analysis of the regional/subregional situation brought out the following:
2.1.6.1
RA VI (Eastern Europe) placed an emphasis on the enhanced liaison with
regional/subregional aviation task teams/subgroups. As an example, close collaboration
continues between the CIS ICH Working Group and the ICAO METG PT/EAST which have
already held three joint meetings to scale out the work programme. The joint fourth meeting was
scheduled for 31 March – 3 April in Sochi (Russia).
2.1.6.2
Covering agenda items 3 and 4, the Secretariat resumed that the ET-CCP
Telecon-1 closed the 1st round of the on-line expert communication in the CAeM ETs. With
regard to the ICAO MET Panel, RA VI (Eastern Europe) and RA I updated on the nomination of
experts from the Russian Federation and South Africa, whereas the Secretariat pointed out that
the 1st meeting of the Panel would take place in Montreal from 20 to 24 April 2015. Further
comments were made on initial work under the ET-CCP to establish a network of aviation focal
points in the Members and the Regions, as a whole.
2.1.7 As per the Regions, the following updates on regional/subregional aviation bodies were
made available:








RA I – A subregional task team was set up at the recent RA I/16 to address the
GANP/ASBU implementation issues and keep the PRs abreast of the on-going
developments.
RA II – The RA II EG-AeM is progressing in assessing the regional capabilities and
bridging the gaps.
RA III – Additional updates on an aviation task team will be made available in the Region
soon.
RA IV – An aviation task team is set up in Costa Rica which meets this April.
RA V – No idea of any appropriate task team.
RA VI – The EUMETNET designated a Rapporteur on MET Service Delivery
With respect to the Aviation Conference in RA VI, the Secretariat meets with the
Organizing Committee in (Vienna) Austria on 21 March. A ministerial meeting takes
place in Indonesia (RA V) on 29-30 April which can make relevant decisions.
RA III commented on the possibility of holding an Aviation Conference in RA III.
2.1.8 It was suggested to use the Enterprised Social Network (ESN), such as Yammer, to
enhance internally communication between the ET members and externally with other
organizations/regional or subregional focal points. As an example, the ET-CCP members were
informed of an available QMS forum platform set up at Yammer and managed by BoM
(Australia) which proved to be a more effective way for discussing relevant issues than emailing.
2.1.9 The core members agreed to hold teleconferences quarterly. The next teleconference
was proposed to be held after Cg-17 (Geneva, Switzerland, 25 May – 12 June 2015).
CAeM/MG-2015/Doc. 4.1.1, p. 5
Liaison with aviation task teams/subgroups
2.2
The conjoint CIS ICH WG-4/ICAO METG PT/EAST/15 meeting (Sochi, Russian
Federation, 31 March – 3 April 2015)
2.2.1 Collaboration and coordination with the regional/subregional task teams/subgroups
develop greater awareness of the implementation process, increase tolerance of differences in
implementation tools, encourage reflection and feedback.
In an effort to enhance the transferability of the current practices, a regular joint meeting of the
CIS Interstate Council for Hydrometeorology Working Group – 4 – Meteorological Services for
Civil Aviation – and the ICAO Meteorology Group Project Team for the States in the eastern part
of the European Region (ICAO METG PT/EAST) was held in Sochi, the Russian Federation,
from 31 March to 3 April 2015.
2.2.2 The joint meeting was intended to create a pool of ideas and knowledge, providing the
participants with a chance to discuss challenges and successes. It was attended by 40 experts
in the field of aeronautical meteorological services from eight Members/States, including
Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation,
Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, as team members, as well as from the international and national
organizations, such as ICAO, Austro Control, RSHU, IRAM, and, in addition, other MET experts
from CIS countries.
2.2.3 The meeting reviewed vital issues of aeronautical meteorological services for aviation
users in the airspace of CIS countries, interactions and coordination enhanced through regional
cooperation, as well as prospects and trends of meteorological services to aviation. The
meeting, recognizing the importance of the delivery of safety-relevant services to civil aviation
as a high-priority issue, appreciated the need to align aeronautical meteorological practices
available in NMHSs with ICAO/WMO International Standards and to foster regional cooperation
in the interests of ICAO/WMO States/Members. The meeting noted with appreciation twenty
presentations and rеports, as well as expert interventions. The meeting expressed its
satisfaction with the involvement of all the participants in the discussions.
2.2.4 The meeting was pleased to note that in the intersessional period the Members/States
addressed the following issues that needed to be continuously reviewed, namely: (a) aviation
safety through improved QMS; (b) control of AMP competency assessment in the Members
linked to quality standards; (c) capacity building for Doppler radar network in aeronautical
meteorological services; (d) support of the “One Sky” concept for international air navigation
fostered by the Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP) framework and the aviation system block
upgrades (ASBU) methodology.
2.2.5 During the course of the meeting the focus was given to the short-, medium- and longterm enhancement of MET services. It was noted that the GANP explores the need for more
integrated aviation planning at both the regional and State level, and addresses required
solutions by introducing a consensus‐driven Aviation System Block Upgrade (ASBU)
methodology. Since meteorological information will be a key enabler to the enhanced
operational efficiency and flight safety, the group members continued work towards the
reduction of SIGMET deficiencies in the MWOs and the establishment of advanced
meteorological radars.
2.2.6
In the intersessional period the Members have achieved significant improvements in
QMS for aeronautical meteorological services, maintaining the level of MET service compliant
with the quality standard. After the entry of the new ISO 9001:2015 Standard measures will be
taken towards the conformity of QMSs implemented with the new quality standard. Moreover,
the meeting agreed that the Members/States currently certified to ISO 9001:2008 would need a
transition period to accommodate the introduction of ISO 9001:2015.
2.2.7 In the interests of the aviation safety, the Members dealt with the issues of re-equipment
of MET units, increasing the competency of MET staff, upgrading technologies for generation of
MET information, including terminal forecasts, flight region forecasts, SIGMET, AIRMET, as well
CAeM/MG-2015/Doc. 4.1.1, p. 6
as for briefings with aviation users. On the subject of exchange of OPMET data, the meeting
was pleased to note the efforts made by the Members/States for providing reliable, accurate
and timely OPMET data.
2.2.8
With regard to competency standards, as part of AMP continuous training, the main
focus was given to improving assessment procedures. In addition, methodological assistance
was provided within the subregion through sharing of experience and competency assessment
documentation between the Members/States representing CIS ICH WG-4/ICAO METG
PT/EAST. Active and efficient cooperation was established between Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Georgia, Kyrgyzstan and Belarus.
2.2.9
The integration of radar data into aeronautical meteorological services symbolizes a
new step towards the compliance with air navigation requirements for higher forecast accuracy
and delivery in near-term of hazardous weather data. Doppler radars are getting more
commonly used in aeronautical meteorological services worldwide, making the Members/States
take actions to put them into operation. Over the last ten years Kazakhstan, Belarus,
Azerbaijan, Ukraine, etc. have gained valuable experience in radar data applications. The
meeting highly appreciated the progress report from Kazakhstan on the operations of the
Doppler radar network and the preparedness of the Russian Federation to establish four
Global/Regional Centres, improving the ability to respond to large-scale and high-impact events.
2.2.10 The Technical Regional Officer (EUR/NAT Office) reported on the ICAO recent
significant international aviation developments.
2.2.11 The Chair of PT/EAST informed the meeting on MET relevant Decisions and
Conclusions made by METG/24 and EANPG/56 held in end-2013 that helped update the Terms
of Reference of PT/EAST.
2.2.12 With regard to the ICAO inspection audits the meeting was informed of the recent
inspection audits conducted by ICAO experts. The meeting recognized the need for sharing the
results of ICAO inspection audits conducted in the Members/States of the subregion to ensure
timely preventive actions.
2.2.13 Considering education and training standards in meteorology, the meeting was updated
on currently available training materials, resources and all types of computer-assisted learning
courseware related to meteorological education and training to meet AMP competency and
qualifications standards.
Moreover, the reports made highlighted the outcomes of AMP competency assessment.
2.2.14 As regards the English language proficiency for aeronautical meteorological personnel,
the meeting welcomed with appreciation the statements made by the Technical Regional Officer
(ICAO EUR/NAT Office) and the Chair of PT/EAST, who highlighted the ICAO requirements
specifying the necessary English language proficiency level. The meeting expressed the overall
concern of meeting the deadline for language proficiency requirements with respect to MET
personnel providing briefings and/or consultations to flight crew members and other flight
operations personnel. It was felt that the training of personnel to meet the required competency
in the English language might be time-consuming and costly, and, therefore, the transition
period would be required to make all the appropriate arrangements by the target date.
2.2.15 When addressing the issues of new technologies in support of aeronautical
meteorological services, the meeting noted with appreciation the presentations made on the
automated forecast verification system which was implemented in the Russian Federation, the
airport nowcasting systems, the Doppler radar network in the Republic of Kazakhstan, the
adaptation of GIMET-2010 software for the secondary information processing installed at the
Doppler radars, wind profiler operations, near-terminal area weather radars.
2.2.16 As regards the SIGMET and AIRMET issuance, the meeting agreed that a concept for
the implementation of the Regional Hazardous Weather Advisory Centres (RHWACs) to support
the issuance of SIGMET should be developed. Such Centres were supposed to provide
CAeM/MG-2015/Doc. 4.1.1, p. 7
information on the occurrence of hazards irrespective of the FIR boundaries, which would
reduce in future the differences in forecasting hazardous weather events by adjacent MWOs.
The meeting felt that MWOs should apply special automated error elimination software for
issuing bulletins.
2.2.17 During the discussions of the States’ actions towards an enhanced QMS, incorporating
SMS elements, the meeting welcomed the work being carried out in Astro Control towards
further integration of QMS and SMS. The meeting noted with appreciation a number of
initiatives related to risk management that introduced, inter alia, safety and security
assessments in MET and occurrence management in MET. The meeting appreciated the best
practice example of risk assessment in MET delivered by an expert from Azerbaijan.
2.2.18 The meeting emphasized the need of holding a meeting to further discuss the issues
concerned. The Russian Federation offered to contribute by hosting such a meeting for the
Members/States of the subregion in coordination with and co-sponsored by ICAO.
2.2.19 The meeting reviewed a draft final report and the work plan for 2015-2016 for comments
and amendments which would be submitted to METG/25 for approval.
2.3
The Sixteenth Session of Regional Association I (Praia, Cabo Verde, 3-9 February
2015)
2.3.1 During the RA I-16 it was noted that AeM remains one of the top priority areas for the
Members of the Region. Given the variety of organizational and institutional structures, the role
of ASECNA in providing a regional service delivery mechanism was highly appreciated. The
Association expressed concerns of the possible significant implications of the numerous ATM
developments on the future MET service provision. The GANP/ASBU implementation process is
hampered by the lack of information on the GANP/ASBU requirements and adequate support
from the national policymakers and governments. To enhance the capabilities of the national
AMSPs the Members are invited to focus on awareness-increasing activities and strengthen
regional cooperation.
2.3.2 The Association decided to establish an aviation task team that would monitor all
aviation activities in the Region in coordination with appropriate CAeM bodies and assist the
Members, inter alia, in the preparation of a regional aviation conference (cf. Draft Resolution
4.1(2)/1 (RA I-16) – Future development of meteorological service provision to civil aviation in
Region I (Africa) Doc. 4.1(2) – Aeronautical Meteorology) to initiate GANP/ASBU and SES
implementation plans in RA I.
2.4
The ICAO Meteorology Panel meeting and interactions with the newly established
Working Groups
2.4.1 The METP meeting recently held in the ICAO HQ resulted in the work programme and
the working structure composed of the four working groups. Emphasis is now placed on the
need for the CAeM Expert Teams to find out the ways and to what extent the interactions with
these groups will be maintained. For the Expert Team on Communication, Coordination and
Partnership dealing with best practice examples and guidance materials underpinned by
standards and requirements the output from each of the four working groups will be equally
valuable. Since the Working Group on MET Requirements and Integration (WG 1) is committed
to developing aeronautical requirements and thus to developing a new Procedures for Air
Navigation Services – Meteorology (PANS-MET), the ET-CCP will seek close involvement in
their work, and at a later stage in the implementation of the PANS-MET. The ET-CCP would
anticipate substantial inputs from the Working Group on MET Information and Service
Development in the form of data on space weather, volcanic ash, the release of radioactive
material, etc. which will be distributed to Members via workshops, seminars and meetings.
While arranging GANP/ASBU related workshops in the Regions, dedicated participation of
experts from the ICAO Working Groups is seen most helpful.
