* Differences between the Pre- and Post-Calibrations were generally
within acceptable levels, thus indicating generally stable response. Except for the channels indecated, Pre-Project calibrations have been used in the final data processing. In the case of the reference Heiman remote temperature sensor (RSTB), it was necessary to apply a third order calibration factor to acheive the best results.
+ Certain sensors had to be replaced during the course of the experiment. Post Calibration coefficients were used from the point of the exchange to the end of the project.
Calibration Manuevers - 10/25/95, 11/23/95
RAF uses sets of in-flight manuevers specifically designed to help evaluate the performance of the 3-D wind measurement system on the aircraft. Sets of maneuvers were flown on one early test flight and one of the shorter research flights: TF03, RF14, respectively. In each case the variations observed fell within acceptable limits .
PMS - 1-D Probe Bin Sizes
The FSSP100, FSSP300, PCASP, and 260X 1-D probes were used on the project. The minimum droplet size (microns) for each sampling bin are listed below:
