ATLANTA - Weather delays and cancelations can be actual frustrating for travelers, but Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines has a whole staff handed to tracking conditions across the world.
Delta's meteorology team track everything from abrasive storms to high winds and turbulence.
They advise trips crews on the best way to reach final destinations.
Every day, hundreds of farmland oversee thousands of flights.
The meteorology team puts out a forecast, which is then distributed to dispatchers who plan and monitor each flight.
Not only are they tracking thunderstorms, but they also have technology that predicts turbulence, and looks at volcanic ash, which can distress an airplane's engine.
