Meteorological Applications of the Bidirectional Thermistor Mass Flow Rate Sensor.

Abstract

A thermistor mass flow rate sensor has been applied to a number of meteorological sensing instruments. These instruments include an aircraft airspeed indicator, an aircraft angle of attack meter, a wind velocity indicator, an atmospheric gravity wave meter, an accelerometer, and a momentum raindrop disdrometer. Included are the basic design details and sample calibrations for each device. (Author)
