Abstract
Two categories of sensors were tested. One consisted of lightweight in situ sensors of types that were frequently used in the recent past for boundary layer studies. The other category consisted of four commercially available Doppler sodars, with the capability to measure wind speed, wind direction and vertical component of turbulence, at various heights above the ground. Part one of this two part study deals with comparisons of five in situ wind sensing systems with a three axis sonic anemometer, all mounted on 10 m towers spaced approximately 5 m apart. Statistical measures of their accuracy, precision and spectral response to fluctuations in the wind are discussed.
