  1. (artist’s concept) Description of HIAPER (High-performance Instrumented Airborne Platform for Environmental Research) http://www.hiaper.ucar.edu/

  2. http://www.hiaper.ucar.edu/handbook/index.html

  3. Aircraft Performance * at loiter speed & at altitude; additional limits for flight crew duty 3,500 # research payload 1,600 # fuel reserve over land; 6,000 # over open ocean 6,110 ft sea-level runway length

  4. Jeffco to Iwakuni, Japan 2-days!

  5. Asian dust event – April 1998(Husar et al., 2001, JGR-Atm. 106 (D16): 18317-18330) “On April 15th, 1998, a dust storm in Western China has produced a huge atmospheric dust cloud that was transported across the Pacific Ocean and caused elevated aerosol concentrations over much of the Pacific Coast of North America.”http://capita.wustl.edu/Asia-FarEast/

  6. Feasibility of dust-following flights. • constraints: altitude, distance, endurance, & airports • assumptions: 6,000# fuel reserve, mission altitude 500 ft

  7. Mission scenario – plume speed 50 kt 3 2 1 0
