  • Title: Overview of meteorological measurements for aerial spray modeling.
    Author: Rafferty JE, Biltoft CA, Bowers JF.
    Journal: J Am Mosq Control Assoc; 1996 Jun; 12(2 Pt 2):364-7. PubMed ID: 8827621.
    Abstract:
    The routine meteorological observations made by the National Weather Service have a spatial resolution on the order of 1,000 km, whereas the resolution needed to conduct or model aerial spray applications is on the order of 1-10 km. Routinely available observations also do not include the detailed information on the turbulence and thermal structure of the boundary layer that is needed to predict the transport, dispersion, and deposition of aerial spray releases. This paper provides an overview of the information needed to develop the meteorological inputs for an aerial spray model such as the FSCBG and discusses the different types of instruments that are available to make the necessary measurements.
