Abstract

Abstract An intercomparison study was performed with four Russian-made, electromagnetic probes capable of measuring three components of oceanic turbulent velocities and two single-axis velocity sensors familiar to western scientists, namely, a hot-film anemometer and an airfoil shear probe. The intercomparison measurements were conducted in a water flume tank in the Marine Scientific Production Corporation on Fishery Technology facility in Kaliningrad, Russia. Measurements were obtained in the turbulent region generated behind a grid at three different mean flow speeds (0.7, 1.1, and 1.7 m s−1). In all the intercomparison runs, data from the electromagnetic velocity probes behave in a manner expected from the sensor and filtering characteristics. On the average, turbulent velocity variances from the electromagnetic probes are about ±20% of those from both the hot-film and airfoil probes.
