Abstract: A system and methods for calculating a range to a turbulent air region from an antenna platform is disclosed. The methods determine a correlation lag value corresponding to a time shift in receiving propagation of an interference pattern traveling along a path that is subject to the turbulent air region at antennas responsive to incident electromagnetic energy. Based upon the correlation lag value, the methods calculate the range to the turbulent air region from the antenna platform and issue a warning that indicate the range.

Abstract: A method to predict a location, intensity and movement of wake vortexes may include collecting one or more ground-based measurements related to predicting the location, intensity and movement of wake vortexes. The method may also include collecting one or more airborne-based measurements related to predicting the location, intensity and movement of wake vortexes. The method may further include integrating the ground-based and/or airborne-based measurements to predict the location, intensity and movement of wake vortexes using a wake vortex prediction model selected from a plurality of wake vortex models based on a group of inputs or parameters including the ground-based and/or airborne-based measurements.
