EOL is now accepting applications for the 2018 Airborne Research Instrumentation Testing Opportunity. ARISTO is a NSF-sponsored flight test program that is conducted annually on either the NSF/NCAR GV or C-130 aircraft. The purpose of the ARISTO program is to provide regular flight test opportunities for newly developed or highly modified instruments as part of their development effort.

The conference, titled “Developing the infrastructure to meet future scientific challenges”, will be held at the German Aerospace Research Centre - DLR, in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany from 10 to 13 July 2017.
The conference will bring together both operators and users of research aircraft working in support of a broad range of environmental research interests. Participants will review the scientific drivers for future airborne measurements across a broad range of topics in environmental science. There will also be sessions devoted to a range of technical and support issues that are concerned with developing the aircraft operators’ ability to address these science drivers.
This free, online COMET module was developed collaboratively by EOL and Millersville University staff and provides an introduction to the instrumentation used for meteorological measurements. Aimed at undergraduate and graduate students in meteorology and the atmospheric sciences, it examines the types of observing systems available to measure temperature, pressure, humidity, trace gases, clouds and aerosols, winds, precipitation, and radiation.
