Zusammenfassung:	The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of modifying turbine engine operating limits due to the intake of particulate matter. More specifically, the present disclosure is directed to the use of a sensor at the inlet of a turbine engine to measure the characteristics of particulate flow into the turbine engine such as the volume, density, flow rate, size, shape, and surface type of particulate matter. Based on these measurements, the operating limits of the turbine engine are adjusted due to known degrading effects of particulate matter intake. The adjusted operating limits may include real-time operating limits such as maximum temperature and pressure, or long-range operating limits such as engine lifespan and maintenance cycles.
