EVALUATION OF MULTI-TRANSMISSOMETER SYSTEMS.

Abstract

A test program was conducted to evaluate multi-transmissometer systems. These consisted primarily of instruments at touchdown, midpoint, and roll-out locations on a runway at five airfields distributed across the U. S. continent in differing climatic regimes. The airfields were located at Atlantic City, N. J., New York, N. Y., Chicago, Ill., Denver, Colo., and Los Angeles, Calif. The data acquisition program is discussed as is the analyses of data. Primary objective of the program was to determine if a need exists for three transmissometer systems per runway under a variety of weather categories. (Author)
