Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the sensitivity of capacity estimation results subject to convective weather forecast errors. Our goal is to examine how throughput estimates vary with different types of weather forecast errors, including time shifting, coverage/intensity, and position shifting. We investigate capacity estimates in both en route airspace and transition airspace for Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) routing scenarios. We consider capacity estimation for a variety of weather forecast look-ahead times, ranging from 5 minutes to 2 hours.
