Static and Dynamic Calibration of a Corona Discharge Anemometer.

Abstract

A Corona Discharge Anemometer (CDA) which is to be used in some balloon experiments designed to measure clear air turbulence, was tested. First a modified version of the anemometer commercially was tested statically to determine its sensitivity, its ability to resolve the x and y components of velocity and the effect of out of plane flow on its sensitivity.
