3D Sonic Anemometer / Thermometer

Introduction

Three-component ultrasonic anemoter/thermometers used to make the core turbulence measurements for ISFS, including the measurement of momentum flux and sensible heat flux using the eddy-covariance method.  Also used to measure latent heat flux and carbon dioxide flux in combination with other instruments.  NCAR purchased CSAT3 anemometers at the end of 2001. However several from other groups were used with our system in earlier programs.  We still have about 20 of these original models, though we now also have CSAT3A and CSAT3B models.
