VERTICAL VELOCITIES OBTAINED FROM AIRCRAFT ACCELEROMETER MEASUREMENTS IN A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
Abstract
A penetrative flight by a T-33 aircraft was made through a large thunderstorm on 26 July 1960 over northern Arizona. From instruments recording airpla e accel r io , gl of t ck pitc a gle, preci e measure (! f / c) yielded a ver ical velocity every 60 ft of flight path. Calculated velocities differed from the true motions by a constant of integration. Evaluating the constant by alternate procedures produced two velocity distributions, differing from each other by a consta t. (Au hor)AD-28277 0N5 ++Vertical velocities obtained from aircraft accelerometer measur ments in severe thunderstorm.
