Abstract

Abstract : Theoretical investigation of estimating turbulence statistical parameters from balloon-borne anemometer array measurements. The goal of this task is to develop the theoretical and computer modeling tools needed to investigate the turbulence strength, the isotropic nature of the turbulence, and the spatial correlation properties of the turbulence, or equivalently the spatial power spectral density, of the index of refraction fluctuations in the upper atmosphere using balloon borne anemometer measurements as the input. Balloon borne experiment design, construction, and test. In this task we are designing, constructing, and testing a balloon-borne anemometer system which will measure atmospheric turbulence based on temperature data, allowing the theoretical investigations described in Task I to be tested with experimental data. Experimental campaigns and data reduction: The goal of this task is to conduct a very limited number of data collection campaigns at a variety of locations and times of day The purpose of these tests is not to establish a world wide data base, but rather to demonstrate that there are quantifiable differences between data collected without any assumptions, and the present data.
