Abstract A program has been carried out to make modifications to the Lockheed-Huntsville Mobiel Laser Doppler Velocimeter(LDV)system; to calibrate and operate the system at the John F. Kennedy (JFK) Airport; to obtain a data base of wind, wind shear, and wake vortex measurements; and to assess the basic operational capabilities of the system based on these measurements. The basic operational capabilities, resolution, and the integrity of a scanning LDV for the remote sensing of winds, wind shear, and wake vortices at terminal areas have been established. Volume II, 342 pages, contains appendices.
Public Note Introduction and summary, Laser doppler system development, Computer software system development, Field tests of LDV system, Results of wake vortex measurements, Resulrs of wind measurements, Conclusions, References, Appendices
