Evidence for Large Increases in Clear‐Air Turbulence Over the Past Four Decades - Prosser - 2023 - Geophysical Research Letters - Wiley Online Library

Turbulence is unpleasant to fly through in an aircraft. Strong turbulence can even injure air passengers and flight attendants. An invisible form called clear-air turbulence (CAT) is predicted to become more frequent because of climate change. Here we analyze modern atmospheric data based on four decades of observations (1979–2020) to investigate whether CAT has already started to increase. We use 21 different turbulence calculations to ensure our results are as reliable as possible. We find clear evidence of large CAT increases in various places around the world at aircraft cruising altitudes since satellites began observing the atmosphere. For example, at a typical point over the North Atlantic, the upward trend is such that the strongest category of CAT was 55% more frequent in 2020 than 1979. Our study represents the best evidence yet that CAT has increased over the past four decades, consistent with the expected effects of climate change.

[España] COMET Ingeniería obtiene la certificación DOA (Organización de Diseño) de la Agencia Europea de Seguridad Aérea



· Se convierte así en una de las 23 empresas en España con este título, y la única de toda la provincia Valencia.

· El certificado DOA EASA.21J.812 permite a COMET realizar modificaciones o reparaciones en aviones y helicópteros.


· La empresa valenciana está, además, en proceso de obtener la certificación POA (Organización de Producción), ampliando así, aún más, su cartera de servicios.

Junio 2023.- COMET Ingeniería, empresa líder en el sector aeroespacial en la Comunidad Valenciana, ha obtenido la certificación DOA (Design Organization Approval) otorgada por la Agencia Europea de Seguridad Aérea (EASA). Gracias a este certificado, COMET amplia notablemente su cartera de servicios, ya que, según la normativa europea vigente, toda actividad desarrollada en el ámbito del diseño de modificaciones o reparación de elementos embarcados en aeronaves que operen o sobrevuelen territorio europeo, debe ser realizada por entidades que cuenten con esta certificación.

Además, este logro sitúa a COMET en un selecto grupo de empresas -poco más de 330 en todo el mundo– que cuentan con dicho certificado y, por tanto, que están habilitadas para desempeñar estas competencias. De ellas, sólo 23 se encuentran en España, y únicamente cuatro en la Comunidad Valenciana, siendo COMET Ingeniería la primera en conseguirlo de la provincia de Valencia.

Garantía de calidad y nuevas competencias

La certificación DOA EASA.21J.812 es un distintivo de excelencia y calidad en el ámbito de la ingeniería aeronáutica. Requiere cumplir rigurosos estándares de competencia técnica, capacidad de diseño y desarrollo, así como demostrar una gestión sobresaliente de la calidad y la seguridad en proyectos aeronáuticos. La obtención de esta certificación confirma la posición de liderazgo de COMET Ingeniería, y reafirma su compromiso con la excelencia en todas sus operaciones.

Además. gracias a este nuevo logro, COMET Ingeniería adquiere un papel más integral en el diseño y desarrollo aeronáutico, concretamente ampliando sus competencias en modificaciones menores y reparación de aviones (CS 23) y helicópteros (CS 27 y CS 29), en todo lo concerniente a estructuras, fuselajes, alas, empenaje o soportes para equipamientos externos, en la cabina de pilotaje o en la bodega de carga, etc.

Un gran equipo multidisciplinar en continua evolución

La certificación DOA emitida por EASA no sólo es un logro para COMET Ingeniería, sino también una muestra del talento y la dedicación de su equipo de profesionales altamente capacitados. Y es que, COMET Ingeniería se distingue por su compromiso continuo con la investigación y el desarrollo, así como por la formación constante de su equipo, para impulsar la innovación en la industria espacial.

Por eso, la certificación DOA marca un nuevo capítulo en la historia de la empresa, al tiempo que abre nuevas oportunidades para seguir avanzando en el campo de la ingeniería aeroespacial.

Sin embargo, lejos de conformarse con esta nueva capacitación, COMET Ingeniería se encuentra en proceso para lograr el certificado POA que la permita también hacer frente a procesos de producción.
