Book Description
The work described in this report is in support of MAC SON 508-78, Pre-Strike Surveillance and Reconnaissance System (PRESSURS), which has identified deficiencies in the Air Force's ability to acquire meteorological observations in uncontrolled and hostile airspace. Primary requirements include temperature, pressure, humidity, winds, cloud field parameters, and visibility. Suitable sensors are identified and evaluated for deployment with various scenarios, that is, remotely-piloted vehicle, dropsonde, and ground implantation. Where deficiencies in the state-of-the-art exist, programs were initiated for the development of new instrumentation, and where necessary, models were constructed for translation of sensor output into useful operational weather information.

Evaluation of Selected Sensors for Automated Tactical Weather Observations

ISBN:
Category : Automatic meteorological stations
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
A program was initiated at the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory to develop an automated system to provide accurate and timely measurements of temperature/dew point, winds, precipitation, pressure, visibility, and cloud height in a tactical bare-base airfield environment. An assessment was made of available meteorological sensors to determine their suitability to satisfy the requirements of such a system. Potential candidate sensors have been identified in all areas with the exception of visibility and cloud height. Under the current effort the following were completed: (1) translators were designed and built for AWS wind and temperature/dew point measuring sets in order to provide for automated operation; (2) intercomparison testing of a number of precipation gages was performed; (3) a hand-held laser rangefinder was evaluated for use as a cloud height measuring device; (4) a prototype tactical visibility meter (TVM) was designed, fabricated, and tested; and (5) the development of a preproduction version of the tactical visibility meter was initiated.
