Abstract:
A 700-foot array of horizontal and vertical single-axle anemometers was installed at New York's Kennedy Airport on 30-foot poles under the approach to Runway 31R. One-minute average measurements were recorded continuously, with a few breaks, from September 1994 through June 1995. Although the original purpose for the anemometers was to track the lateral position of wake vortices, the measurements also provided a database of wind and turbulence that can be used for other purposes. For example, the crosswind data has been used to evaluate four adaptive wake vortex separation systems based on the measured crosswind. This report documents the data formats and database characteristics and provides information on how to obtain a copy of the data.
