Abstract
The in situ measurement and reporting system of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) Aviation Weather Research Program were studied. Two methods were developed to estimate eddy dissipation rate (EDR) values from commercial aircraft, a vertical accelerometer-based method and a vertical wind-based method. The scaled vertical acceleration time series and the vertical wind time series were processed with Harr wavelets. It is hoped that the use of the EDR reports from commercial aircraft will provide valuable assistance in reducing injuries associated with turbulence encounters.
