Measurement of Atmospheric Turbulence

چکیده
How light and sound propagate through the optically clear atmosphere has been of interest to children, philosophers, scientists, and engineers since antiquity. The quantum leap in our understanding of wave propagation through the turbulent atmosphere, however, came with the pioneering work by Valeryan Tatarskii and collaborators in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Their work enhanced dramatically our ability to develop and apply technology to remotely sense the optically clear atmosphere by means of light, sound, and radio waves.

Large-eddy simulation of turbulent flow over an array of wall-mounted cubes submerged in an emulated atmospheric boundary-layer
Turbulent flow over an array of wall-mounted cubic obstacles has been numerically investigated using large-eddy simulation. The simulations have been performed using high-performance computations with local cluster systems. The array of cubes are fully submerged in a simulated deep rough-wall atmospheric boundary-layer with high turbulence intensity characteristics of environmental turbulent fl...
متن کاملDouble-Star Detection Using Convolutional Neural Network in Atmospheric Turbulence
In this paper, we investigate the usage of machine learning in the detection and recognition of double stars. To do this, numerous images including one star and double stars are simulated. Then, 100 terms of Zernike expansion with random coefficients are considered as aberrations to impose on the aforementioned images. Also, a telescope with a specific aperture is simulated. In this work, two k...
متن کاملBehaviors of Vortex Wake in Random Atmospheric Turbulence
Atmospheric turbulence has significant influences on both the trajectories and strengths of wake vortices. In this paper, a quasi-wavelet method is used to generate a random atmospheric turbulence field based on the von Kármán spectrum, in which atmospheric turbulence is represented by groups of random eddies. An inviscid wake vortex system, out-of-ground effect or in-ground effect, is immersed...
متن کاملNOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE In Situ Atmospheric Turbulence Measurement Using the Terrestrial Magnetic Field— A Compass for a Radiosonde
A method for in situ detection of atmospheric turbulence has been developed using an inexpensive sensor carried within a conventional meteorological radiosonde. The sensor—a Hall effect magnetometer—was used to monitor the terrestrial magnetic field. Rapid time scale (10 s or less) fluctuations in the magnetic field measurement were related to the motion of the radiosonde, which was strongly in...
متن کاملStudy of Clear Air Turbulence over Iranian Plato
This study was carried out using two sets of numerical weather forecast data and flight reports for Clear Air Turbulence (CAT) over Iranian Plato to find atmospheric flow patterns favorable to the formation of CAT. The numerical data include five months of AVN analysis with horizontal resolution of 1 degree(about 100 km) and four months forecast data of MM5 model with resolution of 50 km. Impor...
متن کاملDirect measurement of crosswinds to remotely sense 3-D wind-velocity vectors
We present a method for directly measuring the local 3-D wind-velocity vector using normal 1-D Doppler combined with a range-resolved crosswind measurement that is performed by tracking the displacement of atmospheric turbulence cells over time. Previous work on measuring crosswinds has either used modelling based solely on lidar Doppler wind measurement along the line of sight for a large set ...
