Abstract: The invention involves a method comprising the steps of providing (S3) a wind data set (3) including wind data of a plurality of positions, receiving (S4) data for a predicted airplane trajectory (311), providing (S5), based on the wind data set (3), a set of wind data elements (302), each including data concerning wind at a position along the predicted airplane trajectory (311), repeating steps of selecting a subset of wind data elements (302S), creating a wind profile (303), and comparing the wind profile (303) to the set of wind data elements (302), and selecting (S10) to be sent to a subscriber (2, 4) a subset of wind data elements (302S) based at least partly on which a wind profile (303) was created corresponding to the largest extent to the set of wind data elements (302).
