windprofile_sol82.jpg |
| This set of images shows the Pathfinder wind socks on the morning of Sol
82 (September 25). The top frames show the upper and middle sock and the
bottom frames show the middle and lower socks. Movement of the lower and
middle sock is apparent. Deflections of the three wind socks are used to
estimate characteristics of the wind speed boundary layer profile. |
windsock_sol80_th.jpg |
| This set of images shows the Pathfinder upper wind sock during two time
periods on the morning of Sol 80 (September 23). The interval between frames
within each sequence is one second. There is no obvious movement of the
sock, indicating little or no wind at this elevation (about 1 meter above
the surface). At other times during the mission, deflections of this and
two lower wind socks have been used to estimate characteristics of the wind
speed boundary layer profile. |
windsock_sol79_th.jpg |
| This sequence of images shows the Pathfinder upper wind sock on the morning
of Sol 79 (September 22). The interval between frames is seven seconds.
As in the images posted on the web for Sol 73, there is no obvious movement
of the sock, indicating little or no wind at this elevation (about 1 meter
above the surface). At other times during the mission, deflections of this
and two lower wind socks have been used to estimate characteristics of the
wind speed boundary layer profile. |
windsock_sol73.jpg |
| This sequence of images shows the Pathfinder upper wind sock on the
morning of Sol 73 (September 16). The interval between frames is seven seconds.
There is no obvious movement of the sock, indicating little or no wind at
this elevation (about 1 meter above the surface). At other times during
the mission, deflections of this and two lower wind socks have been used
to estimate characteristics of the wind speed boundary layer profile. |
