LIDAR-based turbulence intensity calculation using glide-path scans of the Doppler LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) systems at the Hong Kong International Airport and comparison with flight data and a turbulence alerting system

LIDAR-based turbulence intensity calculation using glide-path scans of the Doppler LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) systems at the Hong Kong International Airport and comparison with flight data and a turbulence alerting system

Glide-path scans of the LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) systems have been devised by the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) for windshear alerting over the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA). This paper studies the use of glide-path scans in the alerting of low-level turbulence which may be encount...
