Performance on the NASA WB57F research aircraft
The WB57 instrument had its initial test flight series in May, 2001.
Figures 3a and b show an example of data taken
during cruise on 010521
where the duct velocity is varied from about 40 to 80 meters/second,
with no visible dependence on velocity. In figure 3a water vapor mixing
ratio is plotted along with duct velocity while Figure 6b plots the water
vapor mixing ratio vs. duct velocity. While the water vapor mixing ratio
during this flight segment is variable, there is no visible dependence
on duct velocity.
