General: Very likely both aircraft are to be based at Arica. The UK recce is early April, both Arica and Iquique will be visited. Total of 120 flight hours including transit 15 potential flight days 10 flights ~ hrs duration BAe-146 FAAM Aircraft

Information: Test flying UK: 17 th and 20 th Oct 2008 Prep and transit 21 st to 24 th Oct inclusive Set up in Chile: Oct 25 th Operation: Sunday 26 th Oct – Friday 14 th Nov inclusive Pack Up: 15 th Nov Day and night flights possible Min altitude: 50 ftMaximum altitude: 35,000 ft At present 4 pilots so crew duty is not a problem (this may change if no NERC funding) However, technical staff duty may provide some limitations (not clear at this stage) BAe-146 FAAM Aircraft

Crew duty A single day off will include 2 local nights, and cover at least 34 hours. Additionally: a. Crewmembers will not be on duty more than 7 consecutive days between days off. b. Crewmembers will have 2 consecutive days off in any consecutive 14 days following the previous 2 days off. c. Crewmembers will have a minimum of 7 days off in any consecutive 4 weeks. d. Crewmembers will have an average of at least 8 days off in each consecutive 4- week period, averaged over 3 such periods. MAXIMUM FLIGHT DUTY PERIODS (Applies to FAAM science staff also) LOCAL TIME NUMBER OF FLIGHTS OF START ¼ 11½ 10¾ ¼ 12½ 11¾ ¼ 11½ 10¾ ¼ 10½ 9¾ ¼ 9½ 9 9

Instrumentation During VOCALS the BAe-146 will be in it’s radiation and cloud/aerosol physics mode. In addition to this instrumentation (see next slides) the aircraft will be fitted with Core chemistry: CO, O 3, NO x Thermodynamics: Temperature, Humidity, Pressure…… Dynamics: Turbulence probe Sondes Video Cameras: Upward, Downward, Forward, Rear

Aerosol and Cloud Measurements: Bulk LWC: Johnson Williams, Nevzerov LWC, Nevzerov TWC Total Water Content: Liquid + Ice + Vapour (Lynman-α absorption hygrometer) CCN: Dual channel continuous flow Condensation Particle Counter: TSI-3025A Aerosol concentration > 3 nm Aerosol Mass Spectrometer: Mass of non-refractory components of aerosol particles as a function of size (50 – 500 nm) Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2): Black carbon mass (single particle basis) Filters: Sub and Supermicron CVI: Counter Flow Virtual Impactor (Residual particle & vapour from cloud drops) Nephelometer: Aerosol scattering (dry) at λ = 450,550,700 nm Wet Nephelometer: Aerosol scattering f(RH) at λ = 450,550,700 nm PSAP: Aerosol absorption at λ = 567 nm

Radiation Instrumentation Microwave Radiometer (MARSS): Upward and downward pointing (+40 to -40 deg) 5 channels GHz Derive LWP, T + q structure Shortwave Spectrometer (SWS): Pointable high resolution spectrometer measuring radiance across spectral range 0.3 – 1.7 μm MODIS type retrievals of cloud properties Spectral Hemispheric Irradiance Measurement (SHIM): As SWS but hemispherically integrating. Mounted on top and bottom of aircraft. Derive cloud optical depth Broad Band Radiometers: Derive cloud optical depth Heiman Radiometer: Sea surface temperature Airborne Research Interferometer Evaluation System (ARIES): Interferometer producing high resolution spectra 18 – 3.3 μm. Retrieve profiles of gases (CO 2, H 2 O, O 3 etc) and sea surface temperature. Cloud info incl cloud top temp…… LIDAR: backscatter lidar possible – due for installation October 2008.

Contingent on NERC award Dates available: As yet unconfirmed but will at least match those of the FAAM aircraft Flight Hours available: 50 hours (approximately 10 x 5 hours) Flight performance: At FL150 it has a maximum range of 1610 NM (185 kts) and a maximum speed of 236 kts. So can match BAe-146 science speed/duration Crew: 2 and a single scientist Crew duty information not available at present NERC Do-228 Airborne Research and Survey Facility (ARSF)

LIDAR: A Leosphere (ALS300) aerosol backscatter lidar will be installed on the Do-228 ASP: accumulation mode Optical Aerosol Sizing Probe (0.1<D p <10 µm, 40 channels) Hyperspectral Imaging: The Eagle and Hawk hyperspectral sensors are the most They are pushbroom systems Eagle has a 1000 pixel swath width, covering the visible and near infra-red spectrum nm. Spectral resolution of the sensor is 2.9nm The AISA Hawk has a wavelength range ( nm); it has 320 pixels, 244 spectral pixels and a spectral resolution of 8nm AIMMS: Turbulence sensor NERC Do-228 Airborne Research and Survey Facility (ARSF)
