http://www.aoc.noaa.gov/Backgrounders/L ... 0Orion.pdfThe WP-3D Orion aircraft are on standby or deployed for hurricane research and reconnaissance 120 days each year. Each aircraft averages between 90 and 120 days deployed around the globe for other research projects, while flying 300 to 400 hours every year. Remaining days are devoted to system integration and calibration, aircraft maintenance, and pilot proficiency training.
The NOAA P-3’s will be contributing to two large-scale research efforts in the coming year.
The Bow Echo and Mesoscale Convective Vortices Experiment (BAMEX) and the South American Low Level Jet Experiment (SALLJEX) are extensive weather related projects which require the NOAA P-3s participation to collect airborne data.
Instrumentación -> http://www.aoc.noaa.gov/instrumentation.htmDestaco NCAR GPS Dropsonde system, también conocido como AVAPS (Airborne Vertical Atmospheric Profiling System) -> In recent years, the primary expendable probe has been the GPS dropwindsonde, a meteorological instrument
that descends from the aircraft to the sea surface, transmitting information back to the aircraft while in the air. The GPS dropwindsondes measure air temperature, dewpoint, atmospheric pressure, and
use the GPS positioning to detect horizontal and vertical winds.
