Abstract

The eddy dissipation rate (EDR) from aircraft wind data during flight in and out of Juneau, Alaska was calculated. The largest turbulence events during aircraft departure and arrivals in Juneau are primarily in regions where the aircraft was turning near terrain. Winds derived from the recorded aircraft data are in an inertial coordinate system. Aircraft vertical wind data provide an excellent means of estimating atmospheric turbulence, even at non-cruising altitude, non-straight and level flight.
