This standard is used for measuring the wind vector and the virtual temperature with high temporal resolution and for determining turbulent variables. Examples include measurements undertaken for assessing the dispersion situation in air pollution control for installations requiring approval under BImSchG (Federal Immission Control Act) and TA Luft (Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control), in the monitoring of nuclear facilities (KTA 1508), and for many agro-meteorological, forest meteorological, and general micrometeorological investigations. Thus, sonic anemometers are a component of the relevant measuring stations (see VDI 3786 Part 13). Furthermore, sonic anemometers can replace the mechanical wind sensors commonly used in determining the mean wind vector (see VDI 3786 Part 2), and they can also be used in climate and weather stations in accordance with international standards [1]. Applications in which the turbulence spectrum is needed explicitly (e.g. dynamic loads on buildings), are not discussed here.
