IWAKE: NLR Cessna with “Bubble” and scan geometry Working Group on Space-Based Lidar Winds; Sedona Feb. 2005
Scan Pattern Scanning range: 3° vertical x 12° horizontal; 75 horizontal lines Center of scan : 9° to the right und 9° to the ground with respect to aircraft axis Duration of one scan: 5 s / pattern + 1 s flyback => 66 ms / line with approx. 33 shots @ 500 Hz PRF Working Group on Space-Based Lidar Winds; Sedona Feb. 2005

Conclusion • IWAKE demonstrated axial detectability of wake vortices • Clear air turbulence: Correlation between turbulence and acceleration needs exact LOS along flight track • Groundbased + airborne A380 wake vortex measurements planned at DLR for this year (other project).
