"A review of ice detection technologies"

"These incidents underscore the urgent need for reliable, real-time ice detection systems to prevent dangerous icing conditions and enhance operational safety." 1

Examples of early icing instruments: fixed cylinder, Capillary collector, rainbow recorder, dew-point recorder.

Discussion

I am proud to note the publication of the article "A review of ice detection technologies" in the journal "Progress in Aerospace Sciences" link. I was a co-author with four others whom I thank (L. Maio, J. Moore, P. Potluri, C.K. Bosetti).

I contributed largely to the section "Early meteorological instruments in flight". You may find more information on the topic in the "Meteorological Instruments Thread".

Kudos to the "Progress in Aerospace Sciences" for being an open access journal.
