A Description of the Atmospheric Turbulence Environment Derived from the Critical Atmospheric Turbulence (ALLCAT) Program.

Abstract

This report summarizes the important findings of the individual projects of the Critical Atmospheric Turbulence (ALLCAT) Program. The basic gust parameters are presented for the various altitude regions. Power spectral densities are presented and the results of the investigation are presented in a form useful for gust design procedures. Scale lengths, turbulence intensity, and percentage of flight time in turbulence are presented as a function of altitude. (Author)
