A system consisting of a collection of aircraft equipped with specific chemical, radiological or particulate sensors as well as a data link radio and navigation sub system flying their normal routes. The position, sensor output and air data is periodically communicated to the ground via a data link radio and collected. The data is used to make maps or models of the spatial distribution of the sensed quantity for a particular time period. Dynamic behavior can be discerned by considering time consecutive models. Predictions can be made using this data alone, or in conjunction with other data, and can be refined by comparisons between the prediction and subsequent spatial distribution maps.
