The troposphere constitutes the final frontier of global ecosystem research due to technical challenges arising from its size, low biomass, and gaseous state. Using a vertical testing array comprising meteorological tower aircraft, we conducted synchronized measurements parameters airborne biomass ( n = 480) in air column up 3,500 m. taxonomic analysis metagenomic data revealed differing patterns microbial community composition with respect time day height above ground. temporal spatial...
The Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP) is an international project to understand precisely where, when, and how convective clouds form develop into showers in the mainly maritime environment of southern England. A major aim CSIP compare results very high resolution Met Office weather forecasting model with detailed observations early stages use newly gained understanding improve predictions model. large array ground-based instruments plus two instrumented aircraft, from U.K. National...
Abstract. Stable isotopes of water vapour are powerful indicators meteorological processes on a broad range scales, reflecting evaporation, condensation, and air mass mixing processes. With the recent advent fast laser-based spectroscopic methods, it has become possible to measure stable isotopic composition atmospheric in situ at high temporal resolution. Here we present results from such comprehensive airborne isotope measurements over western Mediterranean spatial Measurements have been...
The majority of the ground vehicles operating on airside parts commercial airports are currently powered by diesel engines. These include such as apron buses, fuel trucks, and aircraft tractors. Hence, these contribute to overall CO 2 emissions aviation transport system thus negatively influence its environmental footprint. To reduce this damaging impact, could potentially be electrified with on-board batteries their energy sources. However, conductive charging via stationary cable...
Abstract. Between 6 September 2016 and 15 October 2017, meteorological measurement flights were conducted above the German Bight in framework of project WIPAFF (Wind Park Far Field). The scope measurements was to study long-range wakes with an extent larger than 10 km behind entire wind parks, investigate interaction parks marine atmospheric boundary layer. research aircraft Dornier 128 Technische Universität (TU) Braunschweig performed total 41 during different seasons stability conditions....
The American WAKE ExperimeNt (AWAKEN) is a multi-institutional field campaign focused on gathering critical observations of wind farm–atmosphere interactions. These interactions are responsible for large portion the uncertainty in plant modeling tools that used to represent performance both prior construction and during operation can negatively impact energy profitability. AWAKEN will provide data validation, ultimately improving lowering these uncertainties. designed address seven testable...
Wind is a core state variable of the atmosphere. Extending capabilities ground-based measurement systems, airborne Doppler lidar (ADL) onboard research aircraft allows for targeted and spatially resolved wind measurements, which are crucial localized severe weather events or in inaccessible regions such as over water complex terrain.A novel ADL system – AIRflows (‘AIRborne fixed-beam lidar for wind measurements‘)  –...
The Neckar Valley and the Swabian Jura in southwest Germany comprise a hotspot for severe convective storms, causing tens of millions euros damage each year. Possible reasons high frequency thunderstorms associated event chain across compartments were investigated detail during hydro-meteorological field campaign MOSES carried out between May September 2021. Researchers from various disciplines established more than 25 temporary ground-based stations equipped with state-of-the-art situ...

The consequences of new airspace entrants, such as novel aircraft concepts with innovative propulsion systems, on air traffic management operations need to be carefully identified. This paper aims assess the impact future different performance envelopes European network from a flow-based perspective. underlying approach assumes that all certification-related questions concerning airworthiness have been resolved and do not take into account any economic factors related airline operations. For...
Continuous descent operations (CDO) are an efficient operation for passenger/cargo aircraft and implemented at various airports worldwide. However, it is difficult air traffic controller (ATCo) to predict the CDO trajectory control aircraft, therefore limiting applicable window only during low periods. To maximize potential benefits by introducing CDO, required implement into congested airspace time window. This study introduces augmentation application in airspace, called fixed flight-path...
Today, commercial airline pilots need to consider various sources of information during flight operation. The documentation is both available on paper or within a digital medium. extensive amount neither prioritized nor filtered, and therefore lead overflow. consideration all relevant from the performed without electronic support may potentially misinterpretation context.

The turnaround process constitutes an important part of the air transportation system. Airports often represent bottlenecks in traffic management (ATM), thus operations related to preparation aircraft for next flight leg have be executed smoothly and a timely manner. ATM significantly depends on reliable process. Future paradigm changes with respect airplane energy sources, design or propulsion concepts will also influence airport layout. As consequence, operational processes associated...
