Methodological issues of improving the system of meteorological support of aviation for agricultural purposes

Abstract

The direction of the agro-industrial complex development is considered through the use of agricultural aviation and unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular, the issues of integrated application of methods for meteorological conditions forecasting for solving problems of meteorological support for agricultural aviation are considered. The analysis of the impact of climate change on the development of dangerous weather events and complex weather conditions in areas located in different geographical zones was carried out, and their regional specificity was revealed. The identified climatic features of the considered areas indicate the priority importance of developing a regional observation network. It is assumed that the development and technical modernization of the meteorological network will significantly increase the efficiency of meteorological support for the agro-industrial complex. The article also discusses the use of various types of meteorological information in the model of regional meteorological support for aircraft flights in agricultural areas proposed by the authors. The model is based on a systematic approach in which the “crew - aircraft” system is considered as a single dynamic system that is continuously influenced by changing environmental factors.
