METEOROLOGICAL SYSTEM FOR MEASURING SPATIAL STRUCTURE OF ATMOSPHERIC TURBULENCE IN HETEROGENEOUS LANDSCAPE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC G01W1/04 

FIELD: measurement.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to meteorological measuring systems and can be used for measurement of spatial structure of atmospheric turbulence in heterogeneous landscape. System comprises an automated workstation (AWS) (1) of a meteorologist for a mobile control center, a set of meteorological sensors (MS) for peripheral meteorological posts (MP), mast equipment of posts for installation of MS on it, as well as communication equipment (4) for control of measurements of MS and transfer of measurement results to AWS (1). Each set of MS comprises acoustic anemometers (2.5), each of which is equipped with pulsation sensor (2.1) of wind speed, sensor (2.2) of air temperature, sensor (2.3) of atmospheric pressure and sensor (2.4) of radiation balance. Signal outputs of sensors are connected through device (2.6) for collection and primary processing of measurement data with digital output of anemometer. Each anemometer (2.5) is equipped with a support-and-rotary bracket with three degrees of freedom to receive signal information along directions of movement of vertical, latitudinal and meridian components of air flows. Body AWS (1) is made in the form of body installed on automobile chassis. On the body roof there is a lifting telescopic mast with a transceiving antenna (TRA) (1.4) of communication, and inside the body there are control panel (1.6) connected by interface bus (1.5), display (1.7), device (1.8) for digital processing of measurement results, device (1.9) for data collection, device (1.10) for documenting and transceiving device (1.11), equipped with electric connector for connection with TRA (1.4). Mast equipment of each MP includes mobile telescopic mast (3.1), lifting mechanism (3.1.3), trailed wheel chassis for mast transportation and means of mast attachment in vertical position. Connected equipment (4) includes a set of radio modems (4.1) and navigation receivers (4.2) for installation on top sections of telescopic masts (3.1).

EFFECT: high accuracy of measurements, broader functional capabilities.
