The Collection of Non-Conus Aircraft Icing Data along with an Identification of the Geographical Areas of Potential Severe Icing and a Study of a Method of Remote Determining Atmospheric Icing Data
Research was conducted in three areas: 1) Survey foreign countries and retrieve whenever possible aircraft icing data that would be suitable for inclusion into the already established FAA/NRL icing data base; 2) Determine those geographical areas where icing would be a problem for aircraft; and 3) D...

Summary: | Research was conducted in three areas: 1) Survey foreign countries and retrieve whenever possible aircraft icing data that would be suitable for inclusion into the already established FAA/NRL icing data base; 2) Determine those geographical areas where icing would be a problem for aircraft; and 3) Develop an alternate data collection scheme which could be used in lieu of flying aircraft to obtain icing data. Realistic methods are discussed for identifying potentially severe icing geographical regions of the Northern Hemisphere. A useful method to calculate the liquid water content of a remote region (using satellite data) is described. The collection of nonconus aircraft is shown and data is presented. |
