Pulsed Doppler lidar sensors can provide accurate range-resolved wind velocity measurements with sufficient spatial resolution to detect turbulent wind features. Application of this technology to commercial airliners would enable much-needed advanced warning of moderate to severe turbulence ahead. CTI, with NASA/Dryden, has developed the Airborne Coherent Lidar for Advanced Inflight Measurements (ACLAIM) which was recently flight tested aboard a research aircraft. This paper presents results from these initial engineering flights, with validated demonstration of Doppler lidar wind turbulence detection using the observed spatial and temporal variations in the longitudinal component of the wind field.
