A New Fast Response Photofragment Fluorescence Hygrometer for Use on the Perseus Unmanned Aircraft

摘要

Author proposed to adapt the photofragment fluorescence hygrometer which had successfully flown on the ER-2 for use on the Perseus unmanned aircraft. When this proposal was submitted, it was our understanding that author would not continue to fly our 3in water vapor instrument on the ER-2 and that it would, therefore, be a suitable starting point for the 2in Perseus system. However, the emergence of the STRAT program and the plan to include our instrument as the sole water vapor experiment on the ER-2 prevented them from following through with the plan as outlined in the proposal.
