This proposal aims to demonstrate an aircraft based measurement and reporting system for in situ real-time discrimination of single coarse dust, ash, super-cooled water and ice particles . The new system will incorporate new single particle polarization detector technology into an existing airborne certified single particle backscatter spectrometer that has been developed for commercial airliners. The target for the demonstrator will initially be the commercial airline industry, with a focus on contributing to civil aircraft safety and Government contingency applications, but it will also serve for global atmospheric research and monitoring applications, e.g. to assist assessment of the impact of aircraft operations on the upper troposphere-lower stratosphere region. It will also improve meteorological information currently broadcast via the World Meteorological Aircraft Meteorological Data Relay (AMDAR) system from commercial aircraft as well as the UK Science community by providing enhanced measurement capability to their research aircraft. An existing aircraft test bed, the FAAM BAe 146 research aircraft, operated jointly by the UK Meteorological Office and NERC, and which operates under civil aircraft rules, has already been identified for the demonstration/flight validation aspect of the proposed work. An existing measurement system we propose to base the new novel demonstrator on is already flying on this aircraft. We therefore propose to use the FAAM BAe 146 platform to flight validate the new measurement system to minimize costs. The existing system, a miniature non-flow invasive backscatter cloud spectrometer (BCP-100) was developed for the European Research Infrastructure Programme, IAGOS (In-Service Aircraft for Global Observing System), Figure 1. This has already received European Supplemental Type Certification (STC) approval for operation on Airbus A-320 series civil airliners as a component of the IAGOS instrument package programme and this will be expanded to other Airbus types, including A320/40, as IAGOS increases its fleet. The current Airbus platforms with their novel miniature IAGOS instrument packages will also offer a guaranteed future market base for the new system via upgrades and replacements, which will be managed by IAGOS and its extensive links with commercial carriers. Subsequent demonstration of the new system in this high profile environment for both airline safety and improved weather prediction and climate monitoring applications will be used to expand potential market for this system to other aircraft manufacturers with whom IAGOS is already in discussion.

该方案旨在演示一种基于飞机的测量和报告系统，用于现场实时区分单个粗粉尘、火山灰、过冷水和冰粒。新系统将把新的单粒子偏振探测器技术融入到现有的机载认证的单粒子背向散射光谱仪中，该光谱仪是为商业客机开发的。演示者最初的目标将是商业航空业，重点是促进民用飞机安全和政府应急应用程序，但它也将用于全球大气研究和监测应用程序，例如协助评估飞机作业对对流层上部-下部平流层区域的影响。它还将改善目前通过世界气象飞机气象数据中继(AMDAR)系统从商用飞机以及英国科学界广播的气象信息，为他们的研究飞机提供增强的测量能力。现有的飞机试验台FAAM BAE 146研究飞机，由英国气象局和NERC联合运营，根据民用飞机规则操作，已经被确定用于拟议工作的示范/飞行验证方面。我们提出的新的新型演示器所基于的现有测量系统已经在这架飞机上飞行。因此，我们建议使用FAAM BAE 146平台对新的测量系统进行飞行验证，以将成本降至最低。现有的系统是为欧洲研究基础设施计划IAGOS(全球观测系统在役飞机)开发的微型无流动有创后向散射云光谱仪(BCP-100)，图1。该系统已获得欧洲补充类型认证(STC)批准，作为IAGOS仪器包计划的一部分，可在空客A-320系列民用客机上运行，随着IAGOS机队的增加，这将扩展到包括A320/40在内的其他空中客车类型。目前的空中客车平台及其新颖的微型IAGOS仪器包还将通过升级和更换为新系统提供有保证的未来市场基础，该系统将由IAGOS及其与商业运营商的广泛联系进行管理。随后在这一备受瞩目的环境中为航空公司安全以及改进的天气预报和气候监测应用程序展示新系统将被用来将该系统的潜在市场扩大到已经与IAGOS进行谈判的其他飞机制造商。
