Abstract

The Forecast Icing Potential (FIP) algorithm was developed at the National Center for Atmospheric Research under the Federal Aviation Administration's Aviation Weather Research Program. The FIP examines output from a numerical weather prediction model to calculate the potential for in-flight aircraft icing conditions. This icing potential demonstrates the confidence that a three-dimensional atmospheric location, represented by a model grid box, will contain icing conditions. The algorithm uses a combination of weather scenarios and fuzzy logic membership functions to compute the icing potential.
