Our Partner, EJtech, provided an updated bridge structural health monitoring system for Gwangan Bridge, which is located in Busan, South Korea. It spans 7,420 meters, making it the second longest bridge in the country. The structural health monitoring system they implemented included instrumentation from ...
Environmental factors influence humans, animals and plants as well as buildings and their surroundings. The condition of stored goods, production processes, machines, apparatuses and buildings need to be protected. It is important to maintain a room climate that meets the needs of the users but at the same time does not cause any climate-related damage to the building. PCE Instruments has added ...
The 1968 Kansas Experiment saw the first deployment of sonic anemometerthermometers in a major field program. Conducted by scientists at the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories with three newly delivered Kaijo Denki, Inc. sonic anemometer-thermometers mounted at three levels on a 100-ft tower, the experiment was a success. ...
Abstract Increased global environmental awareness has fostered widespread use of remote automated weather station (RAWS) networks to monitor meteorological conditions, and reliance on atmospheric dispersion modeling for decisions concerning pollutant dispersion. Dispersion models require as input a characterization of surface layer (SL) heat and momentum fluxes and turbulence. Characterization ...
We observed the turbulence and vertical profile of temperature in and above the roughness sublayer (RS) using a tower, a tethered balloon and a Doppler sodar in Himeji City. A 3–D ultrasonic anemometer–thermometer was sited at a height of 54 m on the tower. The present results showed that in the RS, the ratio of friction velocity to wind speed, u* /u, observed under unstable conditions of −4.2 ...
Due to its complexity, the state of a turbulent atmosphere can only be described using statistical quantities such as means, variances, and covariances. Computation of these statistical quantities, particularly those of higher order, must be done with considerable care. This is particularly true if the statistics are used to depict heat and momentum fluxes. This note contains considerations that ...
The following guidelines are suggested for verifying micrometeorological data gathered in field experiments. It is assumed, for simplicity, that the observations being tested are made over open, relatively flat and uniform terrain, with small roughness elements. It is also assumed that the sensors and the data acquisition and recording hardware are basically sound and that the purpose of the ...
Abstract. In this note we reassess the role of sonic thermometry in boundary-layer studies. The sonic temperature signal, when corrected for crosswind velocity contamination, very closely approximates the virtual temperature of air. This variable is needed for many boundary-layer calculations. We describe preliminary tests with a new sonic anemometer-thermometer that performs the velocity ...
