Font Size: Welcome to the Camarillo Airport. The Camarillo Airport (CMA), as it is known today, was the former Oxnard Air Force Base. The base was established in the early 1950âs for coastal defense and a variety of military aircraft operated here until 1969 when the base was deactivated.
5. Atmospheric Probes: These space probes remain in, or transit through the atmosphere of the planet or moon and study weather patterns and atmospheric peculiarities until its end. The Huygens probe to Titan acted as an atmospheric probe and then a lander once it was on the surface of Saturn's moon.
Transverse probes, most often rectangular in shape, measure fields normal to their stem width. They are useful for most general purpose field measurements and are essential for work in magnet gaps. Several standard stem lengths and diameters are available, as well as flexible, cryogenic, tangential and brass stem probes. Tangential probes are transverse probes designed to measure fields parallel to and near a surface. The active area is very close to the stem tip.
