Patent ID: 8706320

Claim:
A system for calculating a three-dimensional particle distribution in an air space, comprising: an inlet for sampling particles in the air space; a first aircraft-borne measuring device for determining physical properties of aerosol particles, the physical properties of the aerosol particles including at least a mass of the aerosol particles, and the first aircraft-borne measuring device generates first location-dependent and time-dependent analytical data, the first measuring device comprising a heating device that separates volatile and solid aerosol particles; at least one second aircraft-borne measuring device for determining physical properties of aerosol particles, and the at least one second aircraft-borne measuring device generates second location-dependent and time-dependent analytical data; wherein the first aircraft-borne measuring device and the at least one second aircraft-borne measuring device send the first location-dependent and time-dependent analytical data and second location-dependent and time-dependent analytical data to a central ground station by means of a communication interface, and the three-dimensional particle distribution in the air space is calculated in the central database of the ground station based on the received analytical data.
