Looking to improve your knowledge on pre-flight weather tools? Dial into the FAA Safety Team webinar tomorrow evening as we go through several different tools that you can add to your pre-flight weather arsenal, as well as when to use them! Additionally, I did add in some Skew-T and weather model information, so we will get a bit deeper than your typical webinar, though I only have 1 hour!!

Encountering wake turbulence at high altitude (part 1). The mix of air traffic, high speeds and characteristics of the upper atmosphere are factors in high-altitude wake turbulence encounters. https://lnkd.in/eVyXmrG6

PAGravf4.5en is always free and open. www.zcyphygeodesy.com/en/ The computation of gravity prospecting modelling with the analytic relations of gravity field as the constraints by PAGravf4.5 can deeply fuse all the gravity field information from heterogeneous observations in the different altitudes, cross-distribution and land-sea coexisting cases, whose observation mode can be on terrestrial, marine, aviation and satellite.

A very interesting article on the future of High Altitude Pseudo-Satellites (HAPS). It mentions some of the research being performed by Voltitude Ltd and discusses the challenges and opportunities facing the industry. https://lnkd.in/e__8vmFd

#TechSpotlight! Joining us onboard #EVNautilus during the NA169 expedition is Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s WAM-V 16 USV. This uncrewed vehicle is designed to provide ride control over choppy waters. It’s super maneuverable, so we can send it close to the islands and around reefs to get detailed readings on everything from ocean temperatures to water movement. This data is crucial for mapping the physics of upwelling cold nutrient-rich waters.

🤔 Do you know any mission centric solution that optimizes the pilot’s journey from preparation to closure of a flight? 📱 One that includes electronic navigation charts, mission management and weather depiction on the globe… 💡 This doesn't ring a bell? Then, visit us at booth 8 and discover Mission+

Ocean colour mapping: 30 years of data at sea - Centre Commun de Recherche (JRC) EU Science Hub via YouTube: Observing the world’s oceans can tell us a lot about the health of marine ecosystems and the impacts of climate change. The EU Copernicus programme uses satellites to take images of our oceans from space. However, there is uncertainty when observing the Earth from space. The Marine Optical Laboratory (MarLab) of the Joint Research Centre is specialised in developing methods to define the uncertainty in satellite data, and it improves the methodologies and protocols for taking measurements at sea. https://lnkd.in/gMvi5S98

Another one of our seed fund projects we funded back in 2022, was by Junzi Sun. Together with Esther Roosenbrand, an open tool was set up to rapidly estimate contrail (= condensation trail) formation of flights using meteorological data. Subsequently, they developed an open-source machine learning model to identify contrail formation in satellite images. Then, global flight data was matched with weather balloon data to assess global contrail formation. They found that half of flights can successfully avoid persistent contrails by diverting the cruise altitude within current airspace safety structures. Very interesting findings! Congratulations on this project. #ClimateAction #SeedFund #Research#ContrailFormation #MeteorologicalData #MachineLearning #OpenSource #FlightData #WeatherBalloonData #AirspaceSafety #Sustainability #ClimateScience #ClimateResearch #ContrailMitigation #Aviation #EnvironmentalImpact #ResearchFunding

Do you know why there’s no radiation meter on airplanes? We explored what cosmic radiation is, how it affects people on planes, and why monitoring it matters. Learn how #spaceweather impacts aviation and what can be done to manage the risks: https://lnkd.in/euN4pTtd
