Zusammenfassung:The Applied Physics Laboratory has built and fielded an experimental bistatic X-band CW radar system for studies in aircraft wake vortex detection. The radar, along with an acoustic pumping system, was installed at the Baltimore-Washington International Airport in the fall of 1996. Controlled experiments using a NASA C-130 aircraft were conducted on 23 September, 29 October, and 10 December. Results from two specific runs on 29 October are presented and discussed along with numerical simulations of those runs. (Author)
