Instrumentation.-Two flow survey rakes... were placed on the flat plate. The rakes were lent from NASA [National Aeronautics and Space Administration] Glenn Research Center(Cleveland, Ohio), where they were used as throat calibration rakes in the 10-by 10-ft supersonic wind tunnel. Each rake was 2 ft tall and had 16 total-pressure elements. Each rake was fitted with two hemispherical-tip five-hole probes for flow-angle measurements; these probes also incorporated static taps for instream static-pressure measurements. 2, record 1, English, - flow%20survey%20rake

La mesure correcte des précipitations est délicate, bien que le pluviomètre soit l'appareil de mesure météorologique le plus répandu. Quel que soit le matériel utilisé, le pluviomètre crée une perturbation aérodynamique qui modifie plus ou moins le champ des précipitations en créant, dans son voisinage immédiat, des tourbillons qui affectent la quantité de pluie, et surtout de neige, captée. 2, record 3, French, - perturbation%20a%C3%A9rodynamique
