Integrated Measurement and Modeling Characterization of Stratospheric Turbulence
Abstract
The research goal of the AFOSR MURI Integrated Measurement and Modeling Characterization of Stratospheric Turbulence is to discover, understand, and characterize the spatiotemporal description of atmospheric turbulence and particulates above 80,000 ft (24 km), and the connection of these phenomena to meteorology at lower altitudes. Atmospheric Measurements. Integrated payload with turbulence, particulate sensors; automated ground-station receivers; one-year multiple-site final campaign. Developed turbulence and particulate sensor calibration facilities; .Simulated fine-wire fly-through to verify experimental turbulence dissipation. Developed and deployed an automated distributed ground station receiver network. Conducted IOP campaigns to verify mountain wave turbulence source; field campaign support for BOLT-I, BOLT-II flight experiments. Conducted ground-based experiments to test and verify optical propagation models and fine-wire measurement theories
