Calculates liquid water content from King Probe
1 | KingProbe(Power, TAS, p, T, N)
|
Power |
The power in watts measured by the King probe (Watts) |
TAS |
The true airspeed (m/s) |
p |
Pressure (hPa) |
T |
Temperature (deg. C) |
N |
Droplet concentration (e.g., from a CDP) |
Calculates an estimate of the dry-probe power and subtracts this from the total power, then converts the resulting residual power to a measure of the liquid water content. If applied to successive measurements, the routine maintains an estimate of the dry-air relationship between Nusselt number and Reynolds number and uses that to adjust the zero reading when out of cloud (as indicated by a measured droplet concentration falling below some threshold).
