- A model of aircraft take-off performance for two commercial aircraft types was created to consider the impact of climate change. The study was the first to quantify the impacts of temperature and wind variability on aircraft performance. The use of observed historical climate data confirmed that aviation is already impacted negatively due to climate change at some airports, through the reduction of payload. This work helped the Aviation group at the UN World Meteorological Organisation design a global survey of aviation stakeholders; Outcomes of the 2020 Survey on the Impacts of Climate Change and Variability on Aviation (published October 2020).
