AIRBORNE INVESTIGATIONS OF CLEAR AIR TURBULENCE WITH OPTICAL RADAR.
Abstract
The program was initiated to explore the possibility that characteristic optical radar echoes might actually be correlated with clear air turbulence. A light twin engine airplane was equipped with a laser radar and ancillary equipment for monitoring acceleration, temperature variations, and relevant meteorlogical data. The design of this equipment and the development of the flight programs was predicated on theoretical considerations of optical scattering from particulate matter. (Author)
