A Summary of Atmospheric Turbulence Recorded by NATO Aircraft

Abstract

The document describes 150,000 hours of turbulence data collected from seven participating NATO countries, the instruments used to measure the data, and the methods of processing the data and of separating the turbulence data from the maneuver data. In addition, it details the power spectral density methods used to derive gust velocities which are presented by altitude.
