ABSTRACT:
A turbulence sensor whose signal output is processed to substantially reduce accumulated turbulence signal bandwidth and provide a permanent stored record in which maximum information content is preserved while a minimum of data samples are recorded. Both turbulence energy and turbulence intensity sensors are disclosed. Aircraft mounting of multiple sensors together with correlation monitoring relating to airframe structural integrity prediction is disclosed. A turbulence energy sensor for ground monitoring of conditions such as wake vortex and wind shear turbulence as well as cyclonic system detection in remote geographic areas is also disclosed. An aircraft turbulence sensor, combining a fast response thermal anemometer airspeed transducer together with a ducted thermal anemometer direction transducer sensing angle-of-attack is disclosed.
