Abstract

Wind shear events that are threatening to aircraft safety can potentially be detected directly from the aircraft by Doppler lidar techniques. The main requirements for such a system are sufficient range and reliability under realistic conditions to provide advance warning of shear conditions. With remote wind sensing from the aircraft, it should be possible to significantly improve aircraft safety by allowing pilots to better respond to, or even avoid, wind shear events.
