SAM-CAAM: A Concept for Acquiring Systematic Aircraft Measurements to Characterize Aerosol Air Masses.
A modest operational program of systematic aircraft measurements can resolve key satellite-aerosol-data-record limitations. Satellite observations provide frequent, global aerosol-amount maps, but offer only loose aerosol property constraints needed for climate and air quality applications. We define and illustrate the feasibility of flying an aircraft payload to measure key aerosol optical, mi...
متن کاملAircraft measurements over Europe of an air pollution plume from Southeast Asia – aerosol and chemical characterization
An air pollution plume from Southern and Eastern Asia, including regions in India and China, was predicted by the FLEXPART particle dispersion model to arrive in the upper troposphere over Europe on 24–25 March 2006. According to the model, the plume was exported from Southeast Asia six days earlier, transported into the upper troposphere by a warm conveyor belt, and travelled to Europe in a fa...
متن کاملA methodology to retrieve self-consistent aerosol optical properties using common aircraft measurements
[1] Aerosol optical properties that include the extinction coefficient, single scattering albedo, and asymmetry factor are needed to calculate the radiative effects of aerosols. However, measurements of these properties are typically limited to a few wavelengths, and direct measurements of the asymmetry factor are not available. We describe and evaluate a retrieval methodology that uses commonl...
متن کاملCombined Optimization of Aircraft Maneuvers and RF Measurements for Passive Air-Air Ranging
When a tactical aircraft sets out on a mission in dense airborne and surface RF (radio frequency) emitter environment, the pilot desires to minimize the use of the onboard fire control radar to remain “silent.” Consequently, the pilot heavily relies on the onboard passive sensors and offboard reports received from wingmen and other sources. The onboard sensors may include a RWR (radar warning r...
متن کاملMeasurements of Indoor Air Quality on Commercial Transport Aircraft
Exposures to cabin environmental contaminants were measured on 36 commercial transport aircraft. The objectives were to characterize levels of contaminants and evaluate the relationship between flight factors such as aircraft size, occupancy, ventilation, and flight length, and environmental parameters. Monitoring was conducted at two coach locations for the duration of the flight for VOCs, nit...
