• Abstract:
  The Volpe National Transportation System Center (Volpe Center) has been developing data processing software for the meteorological tower and tethersonde data observed during the special wake vortex experiments conducted at Idaho Falls in 1990. In addition, the data have been analyzed by Volpe Center meteorological support personnel for the purpose of preparing "canonical cases" for study by wake vortex modelers. The following material is the first such case developed for a particularly strong and persistent up wind vortex from a B-757 flyby at 0818LST on 25 Sept, 1990. Data are provided in three forms: raw data, data smoothed in time and height, and best fit polynomials.
