Abstract

The Forecast icing potential (FIP) algorithm was developed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research to study the serious hazards of in-flight icing. In-flight icing occurs when subfreezing liquid cloud and/or precipitation droplets freeze to the exposed surface of an aircraft in flight. Because of the nature of icing conditions, the need for a forecast product with high spatial and temporal resolution is apparent. The FIP uses a decision tree and fuzzy logic to combine information from RUC model fields and produce a good quality forecast of the potential for icing and SLD conditions to exist across the model domain.
