Abstract

This paper describes the development of a system to predict wake vortex environmental climatologies at major airports. This research model represents the precursor to a modeling system that ultimately could be run in real time to predict the atmospheric environment that controls wake vortex translation and dissipation. In this paper we will describe the most recent efforts to validate the numerical modeling system against field experiment observations compiled by NASA during the Aircraft Vortex Observation and Spacing System (AVOSS) field experiment held at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) on 15-19 September 1997. The paper will first describe the numerical modeling system followed by the results of the validation of simulations against available rawinsonde and boundary layer observations surrounding and at DFW.
