Überblick
Das CSAT3 ist ein dreidimensionales Ultraschall-Anemometer, das die 3 orthogonalen Windkomponenten und die Schallgeschwindigkeit misst. In Eddy-Kovarianzmessungen kann es die turbulenten Änderungen des horizontalen und vertikalen Winds bestimmen. Daraus wird Impulsfluss und Reibungsgeschwindigkeit errechnet.
Das CSAT3 kann auch durchschnittliche horizontale Windgeschwindigkeit und -richtung bestimmen.
Es wird mit 7,5m Kabel geliefert.

Technische Beschreibung
The CSAT3 has a 10 cm vertical measurement path and operates in a pulsed acoustic mode. The three orthogonal wind components (ux, uy, uz) and the speed of sound (c) are measured and output at a maximum rate of 60 Hz. Analog outputs and two types of digital outputs are provided.
Measurements can be triggered from from the CSAT3’s internal clock, the PC-generated RS-232 command, or the datalogger’s SDM command. The SDM protocol supports a group trigger for synchronizing multiple CSAT3s.
The FW05 fine wire thermocouple (12.7 μm diameter) is available as an option for fast response temperature measurements.

-
The CSAT3 can be mounted on the end of a CM202, CM203, CM204, or CM206 crossarm, using the included CM250 Leveling Mounting Kit. Alternatively, the CSAT3 can mounted to a flat horizontal surface using a 3/8-16 stainless-steel bolt.
-
The CSAT3/3A/3H is compatible with three output signals: analog, RS-232, and Synchronous Device for Measurement (SDM). The sonic anemometer can be interfaced to any data acquisition system that is compatible with analog measurements or RS-232 serial communications. SDM is used with Campbell Scientific data loggers.
-
The CSAT3/3A/3AH calibration applies a correction for transducer delay over temperature. Transducer delays cause an offset in the wind speed measurement, and to a lesser extent, an offset in the speed of sound measurement.
The CSAT3/3A/3AH speed of sound easement is corrected for the effects of wind blowing normal to the sonic path.
-
Yes. The CSAT3 electronics contain unique calibration and sensor head geometry information. The sensor head and electronics are a matched set. (The serial number on the sensor head must match the electronics to make valid measurements.)
-
No. The CSAT3/3A/3AH is a sensor. Time stamps are assigned to the sonic anemometer data by the data-acquisition system—typically a Campbell Scientific data logger or PC.
-
Yes. The bubble level can be replaced in the field using pn 31962, 1-Ring Replacement Bubble Level with Mounting Bumper and Hardware.
-
With long cable lengths, monitor the SDM data collected from the CSAT3. If the CSAT3 diagnostic word is 61441 or NAN, there are SDM communications errors. If the SDM bit period is increased, SDM communications should be restored. Use the SDMSpeed() instruction to change the SDM bit period. Use the following values for the listed data loggers:
- CR3000: 50
- CR800, CR850, or CR1000: 100
- CR5000: 90
-
The sensors used in the eddy-covariance application are not compatible with SCWin. An open-path eddy-covariance program is available for purchase as pn 18442, CRBasic Basic Eddy Covariance Program. This is the program without energy balance sensors. Also available is pn 18443, CRBasic Extended Eddy Covariance Program, with energy balance sensors. To order a custom configured program, contact the Micrometeorology Flux group for assistance.
-
Sensible heat flux is defined as the covariance of vertical wind and temperature fluctuations, measured with fast-response sensors. For more information, refer to a micrometeorology textbook.
-
The CSAT3/3A/3AH should not be used to measure absolute sonic temperature. Aside from the effects of water vapor in the sonic path, the speed of sound measurement is highly dependent on the ability of the sonic anemometer to maintain its geometry. A 0.2 mm change in the sonic path is equal to a 1°C change in the measured absolute sonic temperature at 25°C. This is equal to a 0.33% error in the absolute sonic temperature. The wind speed measurements are also dependent on the sonic path distance, but to a lesser degree.
