A Summary of Atmospheric Turbulence Measurements with Specially-Equipped Aircraft in the U.S.A.,

Abstract

This paper summarizes the technique of measurement of atmospheric turbulence in the form of true gust velocity. Specific aspects pointed out are related to NASA programs conducted over the last 15 years. Liberal use is made of references for details. Some recommendations resulting from a Spring 1986 workshop on atmospheric turbulence are also presented.
