Grants and Contracts Details
Description
This project is designed to execute and evaluate a proof of concept new capability to improve the
prediction of localized fog events that impact major airports across the country. The University of
Kentucky (UK) will support this project by deploying weather-sensing profiling drones at key
locations surrounding CVG airport for assimilation into a high-resolution numerical weather
prediction model. This pilot study will consist of three phases. Phase 1 of this pilot study focuses
on preparation and planning for the field campaign. Phase 2 of this study entails execution of the
field deployment including deployment of fixed surface instrumentation at CVG as well as
episodic Intensive Observation Periods (IOPs) which will involve the deployment of weather
sensing drones.
