Standard Practices for Measuring Surface Wind and Temperature by Acoustic Means
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
Scope
1.1 This practice covers procedures for measuring one-, two-, or three-dimensional vector wind components and sonic temperature by means of commercially available sonic anemometer/thermometers that employ the inverse time measurement technique. This practice applies to the measurement of wind velocity components over horizontal terrain using instruments mounted on stationary towers. This practice also applies to speed of sound measurements that are converted to sonic temperatures but does not apply to the measurement of temperature by the use of ancillary temperature devices.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
