Commissioning of the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurement Facility (FAAM): the Atmospheric Research Aircraft (ARA) Service
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Leeds
Department Name: National Centre for Atmospheric Science
Abstract
NERC is inviting NCAS to apply for ten year funding, from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2029, for provision of the atmospheric research aircraft service. This covers NERC costs for staff, fuel, overheads, aircraft instruments, premises, BAE contract, campaign development, minor engineering and test flights, and unscheduled maintenance.
Planned Impact
The Commissioning Invitation document explicitly specifies several sections on scientific, societal and economic impact.
Specific responses in the Case For Support address the impacts of the FAAM facility. Sections 2 and 10 describe impact and added value.
