A Simple Boom Assembly for the Shipboard Deployment of Air-Sea Interaction Instruments.
We have developed a simple boom for use in measuring meteorological variables from a ship. The main structural member of the boom, a triangular communications tower with rollers attached along its bottom side, is deployed horizontally from a long, flat deck, such as a helicopter deck, and will suppo...
