HELiPOD - revolution and evolution of a helicopter borne measurements system for multidisciplinary research in demanding environments
The helicopter-borne measurement system HELiPOD is a platform for atmospheric and other environmental measurements to investigate local and regional phenomena. It can be operated in remote areas, as from a research vessel with a helicopter, without the need for a runway. This article presents the cu...
