Description
Summary:This report is published as deliverable D6.3 of the LIKE project. It explores the modelling and measurement of turbulence as an aviation hazard, focusing on the importance of lidar technology to the subject. Turbulence is an essential parameter for airport activities, as it impacts the safety of passengers and aircraft, the planning of new airports, and airline costs. The modelling will cover a case study at Lofoten Island, where an LES model is employed to assess terrain-induced turbulence. The measurements will explore Doppler lidar data acquired at two sites: Lofoten and Madeira Islands. The measurement studies are in their initial stages and will be part of ESR15 and ESR5 future works within the LIKE project. ...
