Objectives of the project

The objective of the ICE-GENESIS project is to better simulate icing phenomena on aircraft. Within the framework of this project, a measurement campaign to study snow using airborne and ground-based measurements was organised at La Chaux-de-Fonds from January to March 2021, where various instruments were installed on the ground, including meteorological radars.

In addition, flights with a scientific aircraft, the ATR 42 SAFIRE , were carried out to measure the microphysical properties of the snow inside the clouds. The comparison of the aircraft’s in-situ measurements with radar measurements taken from the ground should enable scientific knowledge of snow and icing phenomena associated with precipitation in aviation to be enhanced.

Involvement of SEDOO

SEDOO is involved in this project in the following ways:

Provision of a website
Provision of a catalogue to distribute the data at the end of the campaign.
