The Best Air Turbulence (BAT) probe is an in-situ airborne wind sensor developed by NOAA. It is mounted on the front of an aircraft to provide high-frequency wind measurements. The BAT probe measures wind speed and direction relative to the aircraft, while a GPS and accelerometers measure the aircraft’s velocity relative to the Earth. These data are combined to determine atmospheric pressure, temperature, and wind at a sampling rate of 10 Hz. The BAT probe is usually mounted on aircraft but can also be deployed on ships and vehicles.
