Abstract: This paper conducts a technical study on a method for determining the occurrence threshold of wind shear based on historical sounding data. After analyzing the impact of low-altitude wind shear on aircraft flight safety, a method for determining the occurrence threshold of wind shear based on historical sounding data is proposed. A statistical analysis of the sounding data from the test area over a period of 15 years from 2010 to 2024has been conducted, which includes the occurrence events and probability statistics of 1000m wind shear for all 12 months of the year. Simulation results validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the method for determining the occurrence threshold of wind shear based on historical sounding data in the test area, forming a method that can be extended to all altitude ranges of aircraft flight and all flight regions globally. This statistical method provides a technical foundation for the efficient detection of wind shear at local airports and enhances flight safety at these airports.
