Clear Air Turbulence Radiometric Detection Program.

Abstract

The report presents a review of accomplishments for the Clear Air Turbulence Detection Program. The objectives, instrumentation, supporting hardware and interfaces leading up to and including the test flights for the reporting period are given. The ultimate goal of this program is the development of a remote method for detecting and thereby alerting high-altitude, high-speed aircraft in sufficient time to avoid the hazards associated with Clear Air Turbulence, CAT.
