An Instrument System for Measuring Atmospheric Turbulence and the Errors Inherent in Using It.

摘要

A computer controlled instrument system for the measurement of Reynolds stresses and turbulent heat fluxes in the atmospheric boundary layer is described from an engineering and functional point of view. The errors inherent in using this instrument system are analyzed both by a theoretical approach and by experimental runs of two instruments side by side. The errors in heat flux and Reynolds stress measurements were found to be approximately five percent. (Author) Portions of this document are not fully legible.
