Abstract

An evaluation of the performance of the current icing potential (CIP) at high altitudes, is discussed. In an effort to examine the algorithms' performance at altitude above 18 kft, a supplemental PIREP collection program was initiated in collaboration with Skywest Airlines from 12-25 August 2003. The statistical verification results indicate that the CIP performed well at levels above 18 kft during 13 -25 august 2003. One possible explanation for the success of the CIP during this season may be attributed to the warmer temperatutes at higher altitudes during that season.
