Abstract: A dielectric sensor probe includes a stake having a longitudinal axis and an electric component positioned in the stake. The electronic component includes a first electrode having a first length measured along the longitudinal axis and a second electrode having a second length measured along the longitudinal axis, the second electrode being spaced apart from the first electrode. The first length and the second length longitudinally overlap each other. The electronic component is operable to measure dielectric permittivity of a quantity of material positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for displacing liquid away from a signal path of sonic signals in a signal anemometer. A sonic anemometer may include a membrane positioned between a sonic transducer and the open environment. The membrane may be formed of a hydrophobic material that repels the liquid. The membrane may also include a plurality of pores that impede the flow of liquid through the membrane but enables sonic signals to pass through the membrane. The sonic anemometer may also include a reflector that displaces liquid away from the signal path of the sonic anemometer. The reflector may include one or more pores that wick liquid away from the signal path.
