Contents Notes |
Measurements of wind speed, wind direction, and the vertical wind component from five conventional in situ meteorological systems were compared with similar measurements from a fast-response sonic anemometer. The systems tested were an orthogonal three axis propeller anemometer, a light bivane and cup anemometer, a bivane propeller anemometer, a light cup and vane with a vertical propeller, and a vane-mounted propeller anemometer with a vertical propeller. Computed accuracy and field precision variables measured by each system are presented. The response characteristics of the sensors tested are discussed. |
