Workshop on Airborne Radiometric Detection of Aviation Hazards |
|
August 14-15, 2006
NIA, Hampton, VA
NASA Langley Research Center is currently funding a feasibility study to determine whether infrared radiometric sensors on aircraft have the potential to provide cost-effective warnings of aviation hazards, such as clear air turbulence and volcanic ash. The initial study is being conducted by researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), Hampton University, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). As a part of the study, a workshop on Airborne Radiometric Detection of Aviation Hazards is being held to gather input and interest from a broad community, including researchers and industry.
The 1-1/2 day workshop will be held at the National Institute of Aerospace in Hampton, Virginia on Monday, August 14th from 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. and on Tuesday, August 15th from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 pm.
The goals of the workshop are to review the current status of research in this technical area, to assess the resources that are available for further work, and to familiarize interested participants with the research program.
