EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The objectives of FLYSAFE WP 2.3.4 are to investigate how the use of an airborne atmospheric sensor would improve weather forecasts and atmospheric models, and to assess the impact of the installation of an atmospheric sensor system onboard an aircraft.

The present document is the final report of WP2.3.4.

In a first part, it describes the existing services provided by the aviation to the meteorological community, and the sensors and associated atmospherics parameters that are covered by those existing services.

In a second part, it presents the additional needs of the meteorological community, regarding atmospheric parameters not covered by existing systems or products.

In a third part, it presents potential sensors, at different development steps, that could be used for those additional needs, and aircraft installation for such sensors is discussed.

Finally, the benefits of those different sensors is evaluated.
