Wyoming King Air as a National Facility

通过浸没和遥感直接观测大气对大气科学的进步是必要的。在过去的四十年里，仪器研究飞机在提供这些观测方面发挥了无价的作用。在未来几年中，对这种飞机的需求将是巨大的，用于研究范围广泛的研究问题，包括大气化学、中尺度气象学和云物理学，这些已被确定为大气科学中高度优先的研究领域。该奖项将为整个大气科学界提供怀俄明大学国王航空研究飞机。怀俄明空气之王将被视为所有其他大气科学社区设施，并通过同行评审过程进行分配。怀俄明大学的人员在空中研究方面经验丰富，“空中之王”是一个最先进的研究平台。该奖项还将有助于维持怀俄明大学在航空研究方面的积极计划，该计划在过去几年中已在该领域产生了许多科学家。

Direct observations of the atmosphere through immersion and remote sensing are necessary for advancements in the atmospheric sciences. Instrumented research aircraft have been invaluable in providing these observations over the last four decades. The need for such aircraft will be great over the next few years for research covering a broad range of research problems including atmospheric chemistry, mesoscale meteorology and cloud physics which have been identified as high priority research areas in the atmospheric sciences. This award will make available to the entire atmospheric sciences community the University of Wyoming King Air research aircraft. The Wyoming King Air will be treated as all other atmospheric sciences community facilities with allocation being made by a peer review process. The University of Wyoming personnel have much experience in airborne research and the King Air is a state.of.the.art research platform. This award also will help in maintaining an active program in airborne research at the University of Wyoming which over the last few years has produced many of the scientists in this area.
