Interim Review of the Subsonic Assessment Project MANAGEMENT, SCIENCE, AND GOALS
- Share to:
Exhaust products emitted by the current subsonic-transport fleet may influence tropospheric ozone and clouds, and thus Earth’s climate. Such emissions in the upper troposphere may affect climate at the surface of the Earth by means of many chemical and meteorological processes. Some of these processes are poorly understood, and thus cannot be quantified with much certainty. NASA’s Atmo- spheric Effects of Aviation Project (AEAP) has as its objective the development of a scientific basis for assessment of the atmospheric impacts of the exhaust components of subsonic and supersonic fleets of civil aircraft. The NRC’s Panel on Atmospheric Effects of Aviation (PAEAN) has been requested to evaluate the appropriateness of AEAP’s research plan, appraise the project’s results, and suggest how best to reduce the remaining uncertainties.
