Demonstration of an Aircraft System for Real-Time Discrimination & Reporting of Dust, Volcanic Ash, Ice and Super-cooled Water Particles.

本提案旨在演示一种基于飞机的测量和报告系统，用于现场实时识别单个粗粉尘、灰分、过冷水和冰颗粒。新系统将把新的单粒子偏振探测器技术整合到现有的机载认证单粒子后向散射光谱仪中，该光谱仪已为商用客机开发。演示机的目标最初将是商业航空工业，重点是为民用飞机安全和政府应急应用作出贡献，但它也将用于全球大气研究和监测应用，例如协助评估飞机运行对对流层上层-平流层下层区域的影响。它还将通过商用飞机和英国科学界的研究飞机提供增强的测量能力，改善目前通过世界气象飞机气象数据中继（AMDAR）系统广播的气象信息。现有的飞机试验台，FAAM BAe 146研究飞机，由英国气象局和NERC联合操作，并在民用飞机规则下运行，已经被确定用于拟议工作的演示/飞行验证方面。我们提出的新型演示机所基于的现有测量系统已经在这架飞机上运行。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，以最大限度地降低成本。现有系统是为欧洲研究基础设施计划IAGOS（全球观测系统在用飞机）开发的微型非流动侵入式后向散射云光谱仪（BCP-100），如图1所示。作为IAGOS仪器包计划的一部分，该系统已经获得了欧洲补充型号认证（STC）的批准，可以在空客a -320系列民用客机上运行。随着IAGOS机队的增加，该系统将扩展到其他空客机型，包括A320/40。目前的空客平台及其新型微型IAGOS仪器套件也将通过升级和替换为新系统提供有保障的未来市场基础，这些系统将由IAGOS及其与商业运营商的广泛联系进行管理。随后，新系统将在这个备受瞩目的环境中进行演示，以提高航空安全，并改进天气预报和气候监测应用，这将用于将该系统的潜在市场扩展到IAGOS已经在与之讨论的其他飞机制造商。

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.
