The Effect of Ship Shape and Anemometer Location on Wind Speed Measurements Obtained from Ships
نویسنده
چکیده
Three-dimensional CFD studies of the mean airflow over various research ships and a generic tanker/bulk carrier have been performed. The bias in the wind speed measurements is highly dependent upon anemometer position and ship shape. Even for anemometers in well-exposed locations on research ships the wind speed may be biased by about 10 %. Anemometers located above the bridge of tankers/bulk carriers may not be as well exposed and could be accelerated by over 10 % or decelerated by 100 %.

Wave- and Anemometer-Based Sea Surface Wind (WASWind) for Climate Change Analysis*
Ship-based measurements of sea surface wind speed display a spurious upward trend due to increases in anemometer height. To correct this bias, the authors constructed a new sea surface wind dataset from ship observations of wind speed and wind wave height archived in the International Comprehensive Ocean– Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS). The Waveand Anemometer-based Sea surface Wind (WASWind) data...
متن کاملAn Experimental Helicopter Wind Envelope for Ship Operations
Launch and recovery helicopter wind envelope for a ship type was determined as the first step to the helicopter qualification program. Flight deck velocities data were obtained by means of a two components laser Doppler anemometer testing a 1/50 model in the wind tunnel stream. Full-scale flight deck measurements were obtained on board the ship using a sonic anemometer. Wind tunnel and full-sca...
متن کاملThe Carbon Cycle from North to South along the Galathea 3 Route
Air-sea exchange of CO2 is parameterized along the cruise track of Galathea 3 – a worldwide research expedition. A key parameter is the gas transfer velocity, which varies with wind speed. Wind speeds are measured continuously on board the research vessel. For selected areas, winds are also retrieved from Envisat ASAR images, as the ASAR senses small-scale waves at the sea surface generated by ...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of the Flow on a Simple Frigate Shape (SFS)
Helicopters operations on board ships require special procedures introducing additional limitations known as ship helicopter operational limitations (SHOLs) which are a priority for all navies. This paper presents the main results obtained from the experimental investigation of a simple frigate shape (SFS) which is a typical case of study in experimental and computational aerodynamics. The resu...
متن کاملShipboard Turbulence Measurements of the Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer from Hires Experiment
In-situ instruments were installed on 12 m high masts at the bow (bow mast) and the crow nest (middle of the ship, ship mast). The principal sensors installed on each mast were: CSAT-3 sonic anemometer and a CS7500 LiCor LI7500 open path H20/CO2 analyzer/hygrometer. The bulk meteorology sensors were mean temperature and humidity sensors in aspirator and 2-D sonic anemometers for mean wind. Data...
