Title:
APPARATUS FOR DETECTING TURBULENT LAYER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2001/038904
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An apparatus for detecting turbulent layers comprises a transmitter for transmitting a beam of electromagnetic radiation, sound or light into the air; a receiver for receiving scattered electromagnetic, sound or light waves resulting from particles in the path of the transmitted beam; a velocity meter for determining wind velocity components in the beam direction at two or more points of measurement on the beam path or an air density meter for measuring air density at two or more points of measurement on the beam path; and a turbulent layer detector for detecting the presence of turbulent layers based on the output from the velocity meter or the air density meter.
