Abstract
The development of instruments for remote detection of clear-air turbulence (CAT) for early warning of aircraft crew about the danger is an urgent problem today. In this work, we describe the design and technical features of BSE-6 turbulent lidar mounted onboard an aircraft for experimental testing of CAT remote sensing technique. The quality of assembly and adjustment was verified in comparison between theoretical calculations and real echo signals. The system was tested for thermomechanical stability. The improvement of the turbulent lidar is to ensure early detection of CAT from an aircraft and remote control of the turbulence intensity in the atmospheric boundary layer from the ground, for example, along glide paths at airports.
期刊介绍:
Atmospheric and Oceanic Optics is an international peer reviewed journal that presents experimental and theoretical articles relevant to a wide range of problems of atmospheric and oceanic optics, ecology, and climate. The journal coverage includes: scattering and transfer of optical waves, spectroscopy of atmospheric gases, turbulent and nonlinear optical phenomena, adaptive optics, remote (ground-based, airborne, and spaceborne) sensing of the atmosphere and the surface, methods for solving of inverse problems, new equipment for optical investigations, development of computer programs and databases for optical studies. Thematic issues are devoted to the studies of atmospheric ozone, adaptive, nonlinear, and coherent optics, regional climate and environmental monitoring, and other subjects.
