Scientific paper

During three weeks in 2002, a Medium Altitude Long Endurance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle was flown over the NEAT area in the north of Sweden. One of the objectives was to demonstrate the use of UAVs for scientific atmospheric research. The vehicle used was an EADS/IAI Eagle UAV. A Condensation Particle Counter was installed in the fuselage cargo bay. The UAV was flown in a saw-tooth pattern to study the vertical variability between 4 and 8 km altitude. Two different layers of interest were discovered during this flight. At the end of the flight the UAV was flown horizontally in one of these layers to measure particles. The direct feed-back the scientist could give the UAV controller was extremely valuable. Using UAVs as scientific platforms from civilian airports is very feasible, in our opinion.
