| 发明名称 | Turbulence and winds aloft detection system and method | ||
| 摘要 | A turbulence and winds aloft detection system may include an image capturing device for capturing a plurality of images of a visual feature of a selected celestial object; and an image processor configured to compare the plurality of images of the visual feature to detect a transit of a turbule of turbulent air between the image capturing device and the selected celestial object; compensate for one or more of apparent visual motion of celestial objects due to a planet's translation and rotation, the moon's revolution about the planet, and the atmosphere's refractive displacement of celestial objects; and compute a measurement of at least one of a velocity of the turbule and a height of the turbule relative to the planet. | ||

A turbulence and winds aloft detection system, comprising: an image capturing device for capturing a plurality of images of a visual feature of a selected celestial object; and an image processor configured to compare the plurality of images of the visual feature to detect a transit of a turbule of turbulent air between the image capturing device and the selected celestial object;compensate for one or more of apparent visual motion of celestial objects due to a planet's translation and rotation, the moon's revolution about the planet, and the atmosphere's refractive displacement of celestial objects; andcompute a measurement of at least one of a velocity of the turbule and a height of the turbule relative to the planet. | ||
