Wake Vortex Acoustic Characteristics And Socrates Sensor Performance

Download or read book Wake Vortex Acoustic Characteristics and Socrates Sensor Performance written by Kevin L. Clark and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2007-07-31 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report provides an evaluation of the current state of the [Sensor for Optically Characterizing Remote Atmospheric Turbulence Emanating Sound] SOCRATES sensor and its readiness for use as an operational sensor for active monitoring of aircraft wake turbulence. SOCRATES is a laser opto-acoustic array designed to passively detect and track the sound emissions of aircraft vortices. The evaluation period, January 2003 to December 2006, included two field tests designed to improve understanding of the fundamentals of wake acoustic phenomenology and aspects of the SOCRATES sensor performance."--Technical report documentation page.
