Layer turbulence

Description


2D map containing the mean spectral width between set upper and lower limits in altitude in the vertical column over each surface point (ground view) LTB is calculated using a polar volume data set with spectral width as input.

Parameters

Range: diplayed range
Image size
Pixel resolution
Top: Height above MSL of upper data layer
Bottom: Height above MSL of lower data layer

Notes

LTB can be used to observe turbulence on flight levels. The radar scan should be optimized for this purpose, low antenna rotation speed to get a good enough data set of W.
