Report reviews accumulated knowledge of atmospheric turbulence at high altitudes. Discusses characteristics of high-altitude turbulence and associated meteorological features, with emphasis on data obtained by flight research conducted in XB-70 and YF-12A prototype aircraft. Gives example of numerical simulation of gravity waves to illustrate potential contribution of such studies to understanding of atmospheric turbulence. Products of such efforts include ability to extend estimates of transient properties of atmospheric altitudes below 20 km to altitudes as high as 80 km for use in design and flight simulation of future advanced aerospace vehicles. Enables more accurate assessment of feasibility of remote sensors and computer systems aboard airplanes to process measurements into advanced warnings of turbulence.
