Tropospheric Airborne Meteorological Data Reporting (TAMDAR) Sensor Development
نویسنده
چکیده
In response to recommendations from the National Aviation Weather Program Council, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is working with industry to develop an electronic pilot reporting capability for small aircraft. This paper describes the Tropospheric Airborne Meteorological Data Reporting (TAMDAR) sensor development effort. NASA is working with industry to develop a sensor capable of measuring temperature, relative humidity, magnetic heading, pressure, icing, and average turbulence energy dissipation. Users of the data include National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) forecast modelers, air traffic controllers, flight service stations, airline operation centers, and pilots. Preliminary results from flight tests are presented.

Mesoscale Data Assimilation and Prediction with Commercial Aircraft (TAMDAR) Observations
Mesoscale (10 2000 km) meteorological data assimilation and prediction are challenging due to the sparseness of observations, especially in the upper-air atmosphere. In the past 15 years, a number of instruments, e.g. wind profilers, commercial aircraft reports, satellite measurements, and others, have been developed to enhance the upper-air observations. Despite these advances, the present sys...

Upper-air observations are disproportionately sparse, both temporally and geographically, when compared to surface observations. The lack of data is likely one of the largest limiting factors in numerical weather prediction. Atmospheric measurements performed by the Tropospheric Airborne Meteorological Data Reporting (TAMDAR) sensor of humidity, pressure, temperature, winds aloft, icing, and tu...

Abstract: Clean air is a necessity for human well-being and health. Air pollution is a major threat to humans and other organisms and is considered as one of the environmental challenges. Today, with the increase in air pollution, the need to know more about the causes of its occurrence has been raised. The various consequences of air pollution have made air quality monitoring and control inev...
متن کاملHow to Value Weather Information: the Case of a New Aircraft-based Meteorological Data
Extensive literature is available on the development of an economic approach to value weather data and analysis of the cost-benefit characteristics of alternative meteorological data acquisition systems. However, to determine the economic value of a specific set of meteorological data is still a very complex task. Because the data is used in wide variety of weather forecasting processes, which ...
متن کاملAdaptive Tropospheric Delay Modelling in GPS/INS/Pseudolite Integration for Airborne Surveying
Integrated GPS/INS systems have been used for geo-referencing airborne surveying and mapping platforms. However, due to the limited constellation of GPS satellites and their geometric distribution, the accuracy of such integrated systems cannot meet the requirements of precise airborne surveying. This problem can be addressed by including additional GPS-like ranging signals transmitted from the...
