This viewgraph provides an overview of efforts conducted by Coherent Technologies, Inc. in conjunction with NASA Langley Research Center to develop a robust turbulence detection capability that spans full range of turbulence environments. Topics covered include: general principles of infrared doppler radar (lidar) turbulence measurement, performance simulation, complete detection capability provided by dual wavelength radar, algorithm development, technology development needs and turbulence detection problems. Versions of this turbulence lidar system were flight tested. Data analysis from these flight tests are presented. Future flight tests aboard DC-8 and B-757 are planned as well as continued algorithm development and performance simulation activities.
