Introduction Terrain Induced Turbulence Turbulence Forecasting In-Situ Turbulence Reporting System Characterization Remote Sensing |
The Research Applications Program (RAP) is home to one of the world's top applied turbulence research programs. These activities are focussed on providing improved turbulence detection and forecasting products to the operational aviation and meteorological communities. The research includes ground-breaking efforts in terrain-induced turbulence, forecasting technologies, in-situ measurements from commercial aircraft, turbulence characterization and remote sensing of turbulence. RAP's applied turbulence efforts have been supported by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Government of Hong Kong, the Government of Taiwan, the U.S. Navy and various commercial entities. Research Leads: Larry Cornman and Bob Sharman |
