Abstract

The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has developed a method for real-time estimation of atmospheric turbulence severity from in situ aircraft measurements. This algorithm will be implemented on commercial fleet aircraft in the near future. These aircraft will broadcast turbulence severity measurements, which will in turn be used to improve situational awareness of turbulence within the aviation community. To this end, a complete assessment of the algorithm's accuracy and a verification of its performance must be carried out. The algorithm must be optimized for each aircraft type on which it will be implemented. This paper presents the process by which this is achieved.
