Abstract

One of the exciting applications of infrared Doppler radar is for the on-board measurement of atmospheric wind speeds and turbulence for use on commercial aircraft. An airborne pulsed coherent solid-state laser radar can potentially meet the needs of: detection of wind shear on landing approach; the measurement of enroute turbulence at cruise altitudes; and the measurement of winds above and below flight path for fuel savings, especially on international flights.
