Oblaky, oblačnosť a ich vplyv na bezpečnosť letectva

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to explain the role of clouds and cloud cover in aviation as it is important to know their base, shape and amount. Consequently, teaching the user to understand the association of clouds with hazardous phenomena and familiarizing them with aeronautical meteorological information will help them avoid such phenomena. The first part of this paper discusses the formation of clouds themselves and describes the factors that contribute to their formation. The following section not only introduces the user to the history of cloud tracking and compares it to its current state, but also provides options on where to look for information on the amount of clouds in the sky. The third section writes about the distribution and coverage of clouds, and follows on from the fourth section, which takes a closer look at the hazardous phenomena associated with some of the clouds. In the last section, the paper presents the current state of weather gauges and the location of airports, which clearly show the differences in equipment and the associated different readings of weather conditions.
