正文(英文) | All the research ships and aircraft of atmospheric science may never be able to gather in one place for testing. But small, portable unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are another matter. An international vanguard of scientists developing these atmospheric observing capabilities is finding that it is really helpful to get together to pool their insights—and devices—to accelerate each other’s progress. Together, their technology is taking off. In the May 2020 BAMS, Gijs de Boer (CIRES and NOAA) and colleagues overview one of these coordinate-and-compare campaigns: when 10 teams from around the world brought 34 UAS to Colorado’s San Luis Valley for a week of tests, laying groundwork for new collaborations and future field programs. The July 2018 flight-fest conducted 1,300 research flights totaling more than 250 flight hours focused on observing the intricacies of the lower atmosphere. Dubbed the LAPSE-RATE campaign—Lower Atmospheric Profiling Studies at Elevation–A Remotely-Piloted Aircraft Team Experiment—it was one of the fruits of a new community of scientists, the International Society for Atmospheric Research Using Remotely-Piloted Aircraft (ISARRA). At a “Community Day,” the scientists shared their aircraft and interests with the public as well. Working together all in one place has huge benefits. The teams get to see how they compare with each other, work out the kinks with their UAS, and move faster toward their research goals. It’s one reason they are getting so good so fast. Below, de Boer answers some questions about the campaign and how he got started with UAS. BAMS: What are some of the shared problems revealed by working together—as in LAPSE-RATE—with other UAS teams? BAMS: What are the most surprising lessons from LAPSE-RATE? BAMS: What are some examples of this more recent UAS improvement? Yet, we have so much more to do with respect to integrating our measurements into mainstream atmospheric research. BAMS: What are some challenges to doing more to integrate UAS into research? BAMS: It seems like there’s been success in this mainstreamed usage of UAS. BAMS: How did you become interested in unmanned aviation? |
