Lufthansa Airbus A340-300 observing Earth’s atmosphere
Posted 16/07/2011
Lufthansa and the Jülich Research Centre (FZJ) have launched an innovative climate research project for the long-term observation of the Earth’s atmosphere using scheduled LH services.
Specially developed measurement devices on board a Lufthansa A340-300 “Viersen” will routinely record atmospheric trace substances, and in the future, aerosols and cloud particles as well, while in flight. This shall occur all over the world and on a broad basis.
The generated data will be digitally sampled, processed and analyzed after every landing.
