Abstract

Two unique approaches of the diagnosis of icing conditions have been developed under the FAA's Aviation Weather Research Program. On 10 March 2004, an icing event impacted northeastern Colorado and was documented by a University of North Dakota aircraft. GRIDS integrates microwave radiometer data with Ka-band radar profiles to remotely measure the altitudes of the clouds and identify their phase. The GRIDS icing algorithm uses liquid water paths derived from a two-channel microwave radiometer to determine if, and how much liquid is present in the atmospheric column.
