Dr Scott Landolt, NCAR Scientist

Snowfall can account for up to 70% of cancellations at airports, with additional delays nationwide downstream of airports impacted by winter weather conditions. Aircraft deicing procedures allow aircraft to safely operate in these conditions but can add to delays in aircraft departures. Join Dr. Scott Landolt, a researcher at the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research to learn about the challenges associated with snowfall measurement, the science behind aircraft deicing, and how new snowfall measurement techniques are improving airport operations during winter weather conditions. 

After Q&A with Scott, learn about free online classroom resources for your students from the UCAR Center for Science Education Center related to today’s webinar.
