SYSTEM AND METHODS TO DETECT LOCATION OF AIR TURBULENCE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01W1/02 

FIELD: measurement equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of instrument making and may find application in board systems for detection of air turbulence area location. To achieve this result, the value of correlation delay is determined, which corresponds to a time shift when receiving propagation of an interference pattern spreading along the route exposed to air turbulence. At the same time the time shift is caused by the turbulence area. The turbulence area is located on the way of signals sent from a satellite to an aircraft platform. Besides, the value of the correlation delay corresponds to time shift when the received interference pattern propagates relative to the first and second antennas arranged on the aircraft platform. Based on the value of correlation delay, the distance to the turbulence air from the antenna platform is identified, and a warning is generated on availability of turbulence, with indication of a distance to turbulence.

EFFECT: expansion of functional capabilities.
