Abstract

The ranges of the parameters of wind and temperature (refractive) turbulence are estimated corresponding to the four-point scale of turbulence intensity at flight altitudes in the free atmosphere. It is shown that the estimates of both the variance of the radial velocity measured with a coherent lidar in the flight direction and of the structural constant of the refractive index from the lidar measurements of the intensity of refractive turbulence in the flight direction make it possible to judge the potential danger of bumpy flight of aircraft in clear-air turbulence zones ahead of the aircraft.
