Summary

Description The Meteorological Measurement System, or MMS instrument measures the data of wind and temperatures in real-time from NASA’s Global Hawk aircraft. MMS Principal Investigator Paul Bui with NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley describes how the instrument was used as part of NASA’s Airborne Tropical Tropopause Experiment, or ATTREX mission. MMS provided precise in situ measurements of wind speed, direction, temperature, and turbulence while flying at high altitudes.
