8.10 Benchmarking In-flight Icing Detection Products for Future Upgrades
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper summarizes the results of a benchmarking exercise conducted as part of the NASA supported Advanced Satellite Aviation-Weather Products (ASAP) Program. The goal of ASAP is to increase and optimize the use of satellite data sets within the existing FAA Aviation Weather Research Program (AWRP) Product Development Team (PDT) structure and to transfer advanced satellite expertise to the PDTs. Currently, ASAP fosters collaborative efforts between NASA Laboratories, the University of Wisconsin Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (UW-CIMSS), the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), and the AWRP PDTs. This collaboration involves the testing and evaluation of existing satellite algorithms developed or proposed by AWRP teams, the introduction of new techniques and data sets to the PDTs from the satellite community, and enhanced access to new satellite data sets available through CIMSS and NASA Langley Research Center for evaluation and testing.

Ice can form on aircraft surface at 0° C or colder temperatures when liquid water is present. This can happen both on the ground and at the flight levels of the aircraft. Aircraft icing has not only an impact on flight safety but has also an economic impact. According to the report of research department of the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), from 1982 to 2001, 13% of accidents due to ai...

In-flight Icing Characteristics of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles during Special Atmospheric Condition over the Carpathian-basin
The in-flight aerial icing phenomena is very important for the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) because it causes some serious problems such as reduced lift and increased drag forces, significantly decreased angle of attack, increased weight, structural imbalances and improper radio communications. In order to increase flight safety of UAV’s we develop an integrated meteorological support system ...
