Abstract
Nowadays, Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) systems are playing more and more significant role in military and civil operations in Hungary. The proper, detailed and significant meteorological support system is essential during the planning and executing phases of the different UAS missions. Within such systems, it is very important to generate an accurate short-time visibility prediction. In order to develop a mentioned short-time hybrid visibility forecast, we combined an analog statistical and a high-resolution WRF-based numerical predictions which, are available around the four main airports in Hungary. In our work we show the detailed construction of hybrid visibility forecast. To publish our results we created a special web site where the adequate meteorological predictions can be access in some graphical, text and other forms via (mobile) internet connection.
