Abstract: A theoretical model for the local flow velocity ahead of the wing quarter-chord point on the National Aeronautical Establishment Twin Otter has been developed and experimentally verified by flight measurements using a ...

Abstract: Distortion of airflow around aircraft bodies can affect measurements made from these airborne platforms. In particular, particle sizes and concentrations can be in error, and ice crystals incorrectly classified as a result ...

Abstract: Airborne wind measurement techniques currently being used onboard the National Aeronautical Establishment (NAE) Twin Otter Atmospheric Research Aircraft are described and their fundamental limitations are discussed. In ...

Abstract: Instrumented aircraft flights were made near a chinook arch cloud in the lee of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada. The aircraft data combined with satellite imagery have shown that the arch cloud, based near 5500 m ...

Abstract: The turbulent characteristics of 17 Canadian cumulus clouds have been documented using the measurements from a specially instrumented T-33 aircraft. Most of the 33 cloud penetrations were made through the tops of cumuli ...

Abstract: A cloud seeding technique is proposed which has the objective of stimulating rainfall from cumulus clouds drifting over forest fires. Preliminary tests of the ice crystal production capability of the cloud seeding technique ...

Abstract: The MERMOZ (Montreal-96 Experiment on Regional Mixing and Ozone) field experiment was conducted in the greater Montreal area in June 1996. The measurement program was designed to examine several aspects of boundary layer ...

Abstract: A network of eddy covariance (EC) and micrometeorological flux (METFLUX) stations over corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] canopies was established as part of the Soil Moisture?Atmosphere Coupling ...
