Comparative Flight Measurement of Icing Parameters for the Do 28 D2 Propeller-Driven Aircraft of the German Army Testing Office 61 and for DFVLR's Falcon 20 E Jet Aircraft in Stratus Clouds

摘要

Two aircraft of different types and instrumentation were compared during a flight operation in icing stratus clouds. The results of the measurements are comparable. It is established that differences between icing and nonicing stratus clouds can be detected in infrared satellite pictures; possible causes of these differences are given. The improvement of forecasts of icing stratus clouds is planned.
