Fri Dec 20 13:36:00 CET 2019

The 4th SAC (Scientific advisory committee) meeting and workshop of the CRREAT project took place in the main historical building of the Czech Academy of Sciences in the center of Prague on December 17th, 2019. About 40 participants were welcomed by Ondřej Svoboda, deputy director of the NPI, and Guenther Reitz, director of the CRREAT project. The event was moderated by Ondřej Ploc, deputy manager of the CRREAT.

First, G. Reitz introduced the main achievements of the CRREAT project in the last year. Than, CRREAT members presented their contributions to the audience composed of mainly SAC members but also people from the public. The main topics were: measurements on Milešovka mountain and instruments placed on the ground for permanent monitoring, mobile measurements of thunderstorms using cars, UAV progress report, measurement of ionizing radiation onboard aircraft, the status of space projects, and use of spark generators.

Discussed topics include also administrative obstacles of UAV Velos helicopter, influencing ground measurements by radon progenies and lack of suitable thunderstorms in the Czech territory (which is partially eliminated by cooperation with other measurement sites, especially laboratories on the Lomnicky Stit mountain in Slovakia).

The last part of the event was the SAC internal meeting closed with presentation of SAC recommendations. The informal part of the event was a dinner in The Pub restaurant. The next day, some of the participants visited lighting current generator, placed in the campus of FEE CTU, which is used for the production of artificial lighting in the CRREAT project.
