ATSC 5360 - Aircraft Instrumentation

Credits: 3
An introduction to instrumentation used on research aircraft to measure properties of the atmosphere. Topics include measuring atmospheric state, atmospheric particles, and other constituents (i. e. trace gases) from aircraft. Principles of measurement techniques are described, complexities due to clouds are presented, and resulting uncertainties and limitations are explored.

Prerequisite: Graduate student in Atmospheric Science or consent of instructor.
