Abstract:One of the main challenges in the boundary-layer turbulence research consists in advancing turbulence theory towards describing turbulent regimes over inhomogeneous and irregular surface which is often the case in nature. Novel observational techniques are required to sample turbulence statistics in such conditions. To that aim, a light-weight payload for atmospheric turbulence measurements is designed and used on a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Such an observat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
