Scientific Opportunities for a Long-Range Aircraft for Research in Antarctica (LARA)
LARA - Scientific Opportunities for a Long-Range Aircraft for Research in Antarctica:
From September 27-29, 2004, the National Science Foundation sponsored a workshop on scientific opportunities for a multidisciplinary research aircraft for Antarctic research. The overall goal of the workshop was to: 1) identify the key scientific questions in Antarctic science that currently cannot be addressed because of agap in our observational capabilities; 2) develop a strong science justification for the required new research tools; and 3) provide the National Science Foundation with recommendations on the requirements for a long-range research aviation facility.
