Apparatus and method for predicting clear air turbulence

摘要: The invention provides a system for passive measurement of atmospheric temperature using direction detector detecting the energy narrow wavelength band emanating from volume gas. resulting signal can be associated with an effective temperature. range. generates map which determine, at predetermined time intervals, temperatures in azimuth plane predefined range detector. then used to calculate gradients that turn compute average Richardson number over layer and other conditions predict presence clear air turbulence.
