Zusammenfassung |
Vertical profiles of temperature, humidity and wind up to a height of 1500 m a.g.l. (above
ground level) were measured with the automatically operating small unmanned
research aircraft M2AV (Meteorological Mini Aerial Vehicle) during the LITFASS-2009
LIndenberg-To-Falkenberg: Aircraft,
Scintillometer and large-eddy Simulation) experiment.
The campaign took place in July 2009 over the heterogeneous landscape around the
Meteorological Observatory Lindenberg – Richard-Aßmann-Observatory in the eastern
part of Germany. Due to a high vertical resolution of about 10 cm the M2AV data show
details of the turbulent structure of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL).
One profile took about 10–15 min allowing for a continuous monitoring of certain phases of
ABL development by successive ascents and descents during one flight (50–60 min duration).
Two case studies of measurements performed during the morning and evening ABL transition
periods are discussed in detail. Comparison of the aircraft-based temperature, humidity and
wind profiles with tower, sodar/RASS, wind profiler/RASS, radiosoundings and microwave
radiometer profiler measurements show good agreement taking into account the different
sampling strategies of these measurement systems. |
