Abstract

A performance analysis of the 3 turbulence-measuring aircraft which participated in the GATE is presented. Quantities compared include the variances of 3 wind components, potential temperature, moisture, and the vertical fluxes of horizontal momentum, temperature, and moisture. The analysis shows that when all components of the gust probe system are working properly, interaircraft biases are less than the expected atmospheric variability.-from Authors
