Abstract: ow-level turbulence [rapid headwind fluctuations below 1600 ft (500 m)] poses potential safety hazards to landing/departing aircraft and is capable of disrupting air traffic. Timely, accurate alerts of low-level turbulence ...

Abstract: The operational LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) data from the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) is assimilated in a six nest, high resolution Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The existing radar data ...

Abstract: sing observational data from coherent Doppler light detection and ranging (lidar) systems situated at the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), the authors extract Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) intersecting the ...

Abstract: The accurate real-time detection of turbulent airflow patterns near airports is important for safety and comfort in commercial aviation. In this paper, a method is developed to identify Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) ...

Abstract: wo indicators of turbulence?the eddy dissipation rate (EDR) and derived equivalent vertical gust velocity (DEVG)?are calculated using aircraft observations from Hong Kong-based airlines, whose aircraft included Boeing and ...

Abstract: ecent studies have shown that aerial disturbances affecting landing aircraft have a coherent signature in the Lagrangian aerial particle dynamics inferred from ground-based lidar scans. Specifically, attracting Lagrangian ...
