First LIDAR measurements in Croatia

Demand/capacity balance strongly relies on the impact of weather on airline, airport and aircraft operations that the operational staff can use in its planning. This requires the development of a decision support tool that allows the operational staff to assess the scenario-based impact of the likelihood of the occurrence of key meteorological conditions and a combination of meteorological conditions on the operations. Bora wind at Dubrovnik airport, as a crosswind regarding the orientation of the runway, could have a significant impact on stakeholder operations. Therefore, the influence of the crosswind and wind shear on air traffic is being examined within two SESAR 2020 programmes, in the solution PJ.04 Total Airport Management and PJ.18 Trajectory Management. In the period from 14 December 2017 to 14 April 2018 in the vicinity of Dubrovnik airport a WINDCUBE400S-AT LIDAR was installed. Volume, Plan Position Indicator (PPI) and Range Height Indicator (RHI) scans were performed to provide as much data as possible to measure and define the structure of the mean airflow and turbulence. The LIDAR measurements will be used in the mentioned projects ; in PJ.04 the measured data will be used for simulating aerodrome operations in episodes of strong cross winds, and in PJ.18 the data will be used for developing bora wind tools. These were the first 3D LIDAR measurements of bora wind in Croatia, and will also be used in other research for understanding the bora airflows around Dubrovnik airport.
