Thank you to everyone who participated in the NSF Community Workshop on Instrumentation for HIAPER from 4-6 November 2002. Almost 200 people representing universities, government laboratories, and private industry attended this event at NCAR and participated in discussions about the HIAPER platform (a modified GV business jet), its planned configuration, and ideas regarding measurements of highest priority to be made from HIAPER.

The NSF community workshop provided the opportunity for attendees to exchange views about future environmental research needs and how HIAPER can help to meet them. The objectives were to:

• Identify the science thrusts and types of measurements that will need to be made in the near and mid-term;
• Ensure that the broad research community has a clear understanding of the HIAPER airframe and its basic infrastructure; and
• Discuss the NSF Announcement of Opportunity (AO) process, schedule, and estimated funding level for proposals to build instrumentation for HIAPER.

Please visit the "Program and Other Materials" section of this site to take a look at some of the presentations made during the workshop. Speaker presentations are available below the title of the talk in both HTML and PDF format. Available speaker white papers are available only in PDF format.
