“…The resulting deployments to the Memphis International Airport in 1994 and 1995 [68,69] were optimised for scientific data collection and testing of advanced continuous-wave LIDAR for wake detection and tracking. The instrumentation, which was assembled in co-operation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Lincoln Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Volpe National Transportation Systems Centre, FAA, and others, was the most comprehensive used to that date for wake vortex studies.…”

“…Wake vortices can be measured in several ways-for example, by using light or sound. Some examples of wake measurements that use light (specifically, a lidar-light detection and ranging-instrument) were given by Dasey et al (11) and Chalson et al (12). An example of wake measurements that use sound was given by Wang et al (13).…”

Wake vortices are a safety hazard to landing aircraft. A landing aircraft that encounters a wake may roll; this might result in a fatal crash if the roll is severe enough or if the aircraft is low enough to the ground. Therefore, aircraft are separated by a sufficient distance to ensure that wakes have time to decay in strength. However, because of the inherent variability in wake behavior and aircraft separation and position, there is still a possibility for a wake encounter. To estimate the probability of such encounters, a hybrid simulation methodology is presented. The approach is hybrid in the sense that part of the simulation is conducted by using a direct data feed of flight-track data, and the other part is obtained by simulation of wake-evolution models. The approach is demonstrated on a 1-week sample of flight tracks to predict the frequency of potential wake alerts. A wake alert is defined as an event in which the trailing aircraft is in a region of space where the wake is likely to be. The results depend on atmospheric conditions and other model parameters.
