Low-level wind shear detection and warning - A systems update

Abstract

The aim of the Joint Airport Weather Studies (JAWS) project, to determine quantitatively how well various low-level wind shear detection and warning systems operate in a uniform wind shear environment, is discussed. A number of low-level wind shear detection and warning systems that were used in the JAWS field project in the summer of 1982 are briefly described. These included three types of surface in situ sensors, three airborne sensors, and two Doppler radar remote sensing concepts. The tasks that are pertinent to an evaluation of the systems are stated, and some tentative impressions regarding the capabilities of the systems are presented.
