PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH FLYING IN THE UK
DR GUY GRATTON,
HEAD OF AIRBORNE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY,
NATIONAL CENTRE FOR ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE (NCAS)
PROGRAMME INTRO
During World War 1, as aviation expanded and warfare became dependent upon science, Britain formed the world’s first dedicated research flying organisation – the Royal Flying Corps Meteor Flight.
This emphasis on flying research has been nearly continuous ever since – keeping Britain in a global lead in atmospheric science and now climate science to the present day where this flying is mainly done by the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements, FAAM.
In this lecture, Dr Guy Gratton will cover the history of national effort on atmospheric research, and explain why it’s as important as it ever has been. He will present to the audience some of the biggest achievements, as well as the future challenges as Britain goes into its second century of atmospheric research flying, in a future of increasingly international science and new challenges such as climate change, urban pollution and the search for ever better weather forecasts – as well as the opportunities created by unmanned aircraft, airships and satellites.
