Turbulence fluxes and variances measured with a sonic anemometer mounted on a tethered balloon

This study presents the first deployment in field campaigns of a balloon-borne turbulence probe, developed with a sonic anemometer and an inertial motion sensor suspended below a tethered balloon. This system measures temperature and horizontal and vertical wind at high frequency and allows the esti...
