A
new research project has started in 2003 to develop Continuous CO2
Measurement Equipment (CME) and
Automatic Air Sampling Equipment (ASE)
for commercial airlines. CMEs are planning to be installed on five aircrafts
and fly to South East Asia, East Asia, Europe, North America, Pacific and Australia.
Routine air sampling by ASE will
be done twice a month between Japan
and Australia.
After issuing the certification, first observation flight by Boeing 747-400
will be conducted in October, 2005. Preliminary observation by small research
aircraft indicates that CME
produces reasonable results.
