Abstract

On June 2-25, 1999, an observational field program in the vicinity of Greeley, CO was conducted by the NASA Aviation Safety Program (AvSP) with the goal of mapping turbulence location and intensities within convective clouds to features observable to Doppler radars. This field program was called the Turbulence Characterization and Detection (TCAD) field program. Three cloud penetrating aircraft (two equipped with onboard, forward-pointing Doppler radar), two groundbased Doppler radars, and a mobile'sounding van participated in the experiment. Preliminary analyses of the data are presented to show the utility of on-board Doppler radar to detect and classify in-cloud turbulence.
