Each year, I am teaching around 60-80 students some meteorological basics. The courses include a wrap-up of first year physics, and builds upon this knowledge to introduce some applied notions of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics (see course description here). The main aim of the course is to enable students to understand, categorize and maybe even […]
TOOLS: Emission/immission Meteorology Computing Emissions and air quality measurements SMARTEMIS The Swiss Mobile Aircraft Emissions Measurement System (SMARTEMIS) is a state-of-the-art sampling and measurement system for gaseous pollutants and particulate matter in accordance with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards and recommended practices. It is one of three reference measurement systems worldwide for non-volatile […]
AGEAIR RAPTOR ACACIA AGEAIR II (Emissions of AGEing AIRcraft engines, part II) Objectives: Expanding competence in emissions measurements on various engine types Continued investigation of emission characteristics (non-volatile particles and gaseous pollutants) of large aircraft turbofan engines and the effect of engine age on their emissions Research & development for the improvements of the ICAO […]
It’s happening – METENVIA, the research unit “Meteorology, Environment and Aviation” of the Centre for Aviation from ZHAW just came alive! In the forthcoming weeks and months, we will tackle mostly aviation-related ongoing environmental and meteorological challenges. Yet, our competencies don’t stop there; we will contribute to other projects fitting to our mission statement. Stay […]
