NCAR Juneau Project

Problem: The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) required quality control checks on flight operational quality assurance (FOQA) data they collected from an Alaska Airlines (ASA) B737 flying near Juneau, Alaska. NCAR also needed three dimensional derived winds to be computed from the collected data for verification and collaboration with mountain top anemometers.

 

Approach: AeroTech processed the received data, correcting parameters for dropouts and tolerance, and then interpolated the data to create continuous, synchronous data streams. AeroTech derived the three axis inertial winds using their Inertial Wind Recovery Algorithm (IWRA).

Results: AeroTech provided NCAR processed, interpolated, continuous 8Hz data files containing the Alaska Airlines data and the three axis derived winds.

AeroTech Contributions: Quality control checks on all recorded FOQA data, three axis wind calculations, interpolation of the data, and flight test data analysis.
