Meteorological tower

Messmast — Fig. 1: Meteorological tower for profile measurements during the HyMeX campaign, where 20 m of the tower were assembled.

Wind sensors on top of the tower — Fig. 2: Detailed view of the top of the tower: cup anemometer and ultrasonic anemometer (at the top).

The 30 m high meteorological tower (Fig. 1) measures profiles of temperature, humidity and wind in surface near layers. The temperature, humidity and wind sensors are installed at different heights (50 cm, 1 m, 2 m, 4 m, 8 m, 16 m, and 24 m) to get a high vertical resolution. At the top of the tower (Fig. 2), only the wind is measured.
