Abstract |
An experiment was conducted at the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory to assess the ability of in situ and remote sensors to measure the mean and turbulent properties of the lower atmosphere. Two categories of sensors or types that have been frequently used in the recent past for boundary layer studies. The other category consisted of four commercially available Doppler sodars, with the capability to measure wind speed, wind direction, and vertical component of turbulence, at various heights above the ground. Part one of the two part study deals with comparisons of five in situ wind sensing systems with a three-axis sonic anemometer, all mounted on 10-m towers spaced approximately 5 m apart. Discussed in the paper are statistical measures of their accuracy, precision and spectral response to fluctuations in the wind. (Copyright (c) 1986 American Meteorological Society.) |
