Abstract: Satisfactory measuring techniques have been developed which overcome the four, principal experimental problems arising in the investigation of atmospheric turbulence. 1. The data are made reproducible for statistical ...

Abstract: Experimental data on the energy spectra, correlation coefficients and energy isotropy of atmospheric turbulence at low elevations are presented. It is shown that the very simple formulas derived with the aid of Kolmogoroff's ...

Abstract: A universal turbulence standardization technique is described which is based quantitatively on the atmospheric turbulence itself rather than on the effects it products on an aircraft. It provides a single turbulence intensity ...

Abstract: Studies by various investigators have shown that rising spherical balloons exhibit self-induced lateral motions which can introduce errors when the balloons are used for wind soundings. Balloons operating in the subcritical ...

Abstract: The fundamentals of step and sinusoidal gust responses for propellers and vanes are considered, and methods and graphs are given for obtaining sensor characteristics from simple wind tunnel tests. Formulas are derived for ...

Abstract: A continuous particle sampler has been developed which captures atmospheric particles in a Formvar solvent liquid film. The Formvar solution completely encapsulates the particle; then as the solvent evaporates the film ...

Abstract: Samplings of the unmixed cores and the mixed edges of convective clouds at various heights were made in an aircraft using standard instrumentation and a Continuous Particle Collector (CPC). The unmixed cores are defined ...
