Abstract

The quality of atmospheric turbulence detection and forecast information for the operational meteorology and aviation communities is directly linked to the quality of real-time measurements. Currently, the only direct data are subjective, qualitative, and intermittent pilot reports. This article describes techniques, suitable for real-time application on commercial transport aircraft, to generate quantitative and comprehensive turbulence measurements. These algorithms build on standard methods used in the analysis of aircraft response to turbulence, but are specifically designed to address the limitations of the available on-board data and computational resources.
