DAN DURDA'S RESEARCH INTERESTS Airborne Observations of Planetary Occultations Planetary occultations are a well-proven technique for measuring the sizes of solar system objects too small to be resolved in an angular sense and for obtaining pressure and temperature profiles of planetary atmospheres. Planetary occultations have been routiniely observed from groundbased sites for decades, and (in high-priority cases) by the NASA Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO) when it was operating. Unfortunately, many events are missed either because of bad weather or because they occur over water (which covers over 70% of the Earth's surface).
