Methods and systems for estimating three dimensional distribution of turbulence intensity using radar measurements

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer program products for storing turbulence radar return data into a three-dimensional buffer. The method involves modeling the radar signal scattering properties of space surrounding the radar/aircraft. Presented turbulent wind variance measurements are compared to predictions of the measurement using the modeled scattering properties, thereby producing more accurate turbulence information for storage into the three-dimensional buffer.
