| Abstract | In November 1996, a number of wake vortex and meteorological sensors were operated simultaneously in the middle marker region of Runway 31R at New York's Kennedy Airport. The vortex sensors included: 1)ground-based anemometer array, 2) cw 10-micron lidar, 3) fan-beam sodar, 4) RASS, 5) sonic anemometer, 6) scintillometer, and 7) vertical beam sodaro Comparisons of measurements from the different sensors are presented and used to a~alyze sensor capabilities and suitability for the NASA Aircraft Vortex Spacing System (AVOSS). A number of new observations were made during this test: 1) boundary thickness under wake vortex in ground effect, 2) high time resolution in situ temperature and velocity measurements inside the vortex recirculation oval, 3) directional measurements of vortex-generated sound, and 4) the influence of aIrcraft on meteorologlcal conditions. |
