Abstract

A new index to estimate aircraft icing in clouds from operational meteorological models has been developed by Swedish meteorologists. Although rather simple it takes into account, directly or indirectly, all the principal meteorological variables for icing. The index has been evaluated during three winter seasons and is now operational in the Swedish HIRLAM model. A graphical representation of the index is presented.
