Flight Tests of the DELICAT Airborne LIDAR System for Remote Clear Air Turbulence Detection

An important aeronautics application of lidar is the airborne remote detection of Clear Air Turbulence which cannot be performed with onboard radar. We report on a DLR-developed lidar system for the remote detection of such turbulent areas in the flight path of an aircraft. The lidar, consisting of...
