New Ice Sensor Efficiently Detects Ice Build-Up on Aircraft, Wind Turbines Written by AZoSensorsDec 18 2020 A new study by researchers from UBC Okanagan has transformed how aircraft and wind turbine operators deal with the risks associated with the build-up of ice. School of Engineering Mohammad Zarifi has made significant improvements to the real-time sensors that monitor frost and ice build-up on airplanes and turbines. Image Credit: UBC Okanagan.

In a follow-up study from one released previously this year, Assistant Professor Mohammad Zarifi and his team at UBCO's Okanagan MicroElectronics and Gigahertz Applications (OMEGA) Lab, have broadened the scope and functionality of their ice sensors. "We received...
