European fleet for airborne research in the field of environment and geo-sciences

Objective

EUFAR is an Integrated Infrastructure Initiative that brings together 22 leading European institutions and companies involved in airborne research, operating 23 instrumented aircraft. EUFAR, being a user-driven project, aims at: * co-ordinating the networ k for exchanging knowledge, sharing developments, and building the unified structure that is required for improving access to the infrastructures; * providing users with Transnational Access (TA) to the infrastructures; * extending TA to national funding s ources; * promoting airborne research in the academic community; * developing research activities in airborne instrumentation. Networking activities: - The ESF Scientific Advisory Committee (N1ESF-SAC), constituted of independent eminent scientists, super vises the activities of the EUFAR I3. - The Transnational Access Coordination (N2TAC) provides a unified management structure for all EUFAR TA activities. - Future of the Fleet (N3FF): aims at providing technical solutions for extending TA beyond EU suppor t, and elaborating on possible enhancements of the fleet. - Expert Working Groups (N4EWG) are supported for exchanging knowledge and promoting best practice and investments in airborne instrumentation. - Education & Training (N5ET): aims at promoting t he airborne research in the academic community. - E-Communication (N6EC): elaborates efficient solutions for the dissemination of the information and the evaluations of TA applications. Transnational Access Activities: Access is offered to 23 instrumente d aircraft, including scientific and engineering support for integration of instruments, planning of field campaigns, and data analysis. Joint Research Activities: The objective of the EUFAR JRA1 "Airborne Aerosol Reference Pod" is to design and construc t an Aerosol Reference Pod that can be flown on several aircraft and will serve as a true basis for intercalibration of airborne aerosol instrumentation.
