This presentation describes the integration of small sensor systems with sUAS vehicles that will better quantify emissions from hard-to-sample area sources, introduces current capabilities, highlights recent OWLETS missions, and discusses future campaigns.
This paper describes the testing of a commercially available shear stress sensor with emphasis on an examination of the output data and how variations in the output characteristics impacted the data analysis. The sensor itself is 0.625” in diameter with a length of 2” with a 0.375” diameter floating element and the sensor and housing constructed of stainless steel and aluminum. Shear stress was measured/calculated real time and compared to the output of the shear stress sensor. The range of testing was up to 15 Pa compared to the maximum calibrated range of 300 Pa for the sensor. The resultant sensitives of this device are within the expected range.
