Boundary Layer Profile Measurement System

The NCAR Field Observing Facility developed a new tethered-balloon wing system that accurately measures the vertical profile of temperature, wind speed, wind direction, and humidity. This report presents a brief survey of the capabilities of this system for making meteorological measurements of the boundary layer profile up to 5000 ft above the ground.
