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 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 typically mounted on aircraft but can also be deployed on ships and vehicles.
