Snow at Schiphol

The operational snow season at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol runs from mid
November until the end of March. In this period all operational partners such
as Airport Authorities, Air Trac Control and airliners like KLM have to work
together tightly in ghting possible delays due to snowfall at runways, taxiways
and peers.
In the kick-of meeting at November 14th (2011) KNMI presented the mete-
orological aspects of snow at the airport, varying from climatology to seasonal
forecasting. This article describes the main aspects of this presentation.
