The development of an air motion measurement system for NASA's Electra aircraftThe development of the Turbulent Air Motion Measurement System (TAMMS), which is to measure dynamical and photochemical processes over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, is examined. The composition and operation of the TAMMS subsystems, which include (1) fast-response meteorological sensors; (2) a boom/inertial navigation system; (3) baseline meteorological sensors; (4) an analog/digital interface; (5) control and data acquisition; and (6) data/reduction and spectral analysis software, are described. The planned flight testing and calibration of the TAMMS are discussed. The TAMMS platform wil be able to estimate the turbulent fluxes of heat, moisture, momentum, and any chemical species for which fast-response instrumentation is available.
