• Description:
  The Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe) supports the NASA Wake Vortex program in data collection, analysis and modeling of the airplane work vortex data to improve operations at a number of airports that experience capacity constraints. As part of the NASA's effort in evaluation emerging wake vortex sensing technologies, a test was carried out at DEN airport during the fall of 2005 to evaluate the state of the Sensor for Optical Characterization of Ring-eddy Atmospherically Emanating Sound (SOCRATES). This sensor uses an array of laser beams acting as a continuous aperture laser microphone to passively detect and track the sound generated by airplane wake vortices.
