In recent years, aviation sector interest in the measurement of cloud ice particle total mass and mass distribution has grown due to an increasing number of in-service single and multiple jet engine power-loss events on commercial aircraft usually when flying in the vicinity of deep convection (Lawson et al. 1998, Mason et al. 2006, Pasztor, 2008). Pilot reports, flight data recorder data, and some industry flight test data strongly indicate that the events are probably related to the ingestion of high ice water content into the engines. Such events have obvious cost and safety implications to the industry and the public. Recently, the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) has been working to create an ice particle simulation facility for testing jet engine and/or engine components in high ice water content (IWC) conditions. Ice particles are created by shaving ice blocks, or by using a grinding mill. Environment Canada is collaborating with NRC on the calibration of the IWC quantities produced in the tunnel. By measuring the relative profile of IWC across the tunnel, and knowing the amount of ice delivered into the tunnel, it is possible to provide an absolute estimate of the tunnel IWC at any location across the tunnel.
