| Abstract | A 7OO foot array of horizontal and vertical single-axis anemometers was installed at New York's Kennedy Airport on 30-foot poles under the approach to Runway 31R. Although the original purpose for the anemometers was to track the lateral position of wake vortices, new processing algorithms were developed that permit assessment of vortex height and circulation. Data from more than 20,000 landings have been recorded and processed. This report documents the current state of algorithm development and provides processed data for other researchers to analyze. |
