The ER-2 meteorological measurement system

Abstract

The objectives of ER-2 Meteorological Measurement System (MMS) are: (1) to measure the meteorological parameters (pressure, temperature, and the three dimensional wind vector) accurately; (2) to provide high resolution data on atmospheric state variables and aircraft flight track to ER-2 investigators on a timely basis; and (3) to conduct collaborative research in atmospheric dynamics and chemistry. A summary of progress and results are presented.
