Double cargo doors provide good access for installing instrument racks.\r\n\r\nIn general the aircraft works in the Antarctic from October through to March each year depending on projects, and can operate at other latitudes outside this period, for example ACCACIA in the Arctic February 2013.\r\n\r\nThe instrument suite includes standard temperature and water vapour sensors as well as a turbulence probe allowing full atmospheric profile measurements of temperature, dew point and winds.\r\n\r\nThe fast turbulence probe also facilitates sensible heat flux measurements by the eddy covariance method. These boundary layer measurement capabilities are complemented by incoming and outgoing radiation instruments and a downward looking infra-red thermometer.\r\n\r\nThe floor hatch opening can also accommodate a fixed laser range finder or scanning laser which has been used for measuring ice floe topography. The required GPS and attitude measurements to support this are available. Video and digital SLR cameras can also be fitted here. The camera bay can also be configured to drop airborne deployable buoys.\r\n\r\nHard points and pylons are available on each wing. A DMT Cloud and aerosol spectrometer (CAPS) probe is used for cloud studies. Other standard PMS pod instruments can easily be accommodated. A closed path Licor H2O/CO2 instrument, Grimm optical particle counter and cloud condensation nuclei counter are fed from simple Rosemount inlets.\r\n\r\nRange:\t1000km including skis.

Double cargo doors provide good access for installing instrument racks.\r\n\r\nIn general the aircraft works in the Antarctic from October through to March each year depending on projects, and can operate at other latitudes outside this period, for example ACCACIA in the Arctic February 2013.\r\n\r\nThe instrument suite includes standard temperature and water vapour sensors as well as a turbulence probe allowing full atmospheric profile measurements of temperature, dew point and winds.\r\n\r\nThe fast turbulence probe also facilitates sensible heat flux measurements by the eddy covariance method. These boundary layer measurement capabilities are complemented by incoming and outgoing radiation instruments and a downward looking infra-red thermometer.\r\n\r\nThe floor hatch opening can also accommodate a fixed laser range finder or scanning laser which has been used for measuring ice floe topography. The required GPS and attitude measurements to support this are available. Video and digital SLR cameras can also be fitted here. The camera bay can also be configured to drop airborne deployable buoys.\r\n\r\nHard points and pylons are available on each wing. A DMT Cloud and aerosol spectrometer (CAPS) probe is used for cloud studies. Other standard PMS pod instruments can easily be accommodated. A closed path Licor H2O/CO2 instrument, Grimm optical particle counter and cloud condensation nuclei counter are fed from simple Rosemount inlets.\r\n\r\nRange:\t1000km including skis.

The distance of the target from the transmitter can be worked out from the time taken by a pulse to travel there and back.The radars do not receive echoes from tiny cloud particles, but only from the precipitation sized droplets.
