A wind speed profile measurement method based on free bubble tracking in the lower atmosphere Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper establishes the basis for the development of an affordable system with the aim of measuring speed profiles in local wind flows by remotely tracking lighter-than-air bubbles. First, the main components and features of the measurement system are explained, as well as their integrated workflow, with special emphasis on the data processing. The capability of the system to estimate the horizontal wind in real time along the ascending path ...
