Thermodynamic correction of particle concentrations measured by underwing probes on fast-flying aircraft

Particle concentration measurements with underwing probes on aircraft are impacted by air compression upstream of the instrument body as a function of flight velocity. In particular, for fast-flying aircraft the necessity arises to account for compression of the air sample volume. Hence, a correctio...
