Wind Calibration Validation: Reverse Track Flight (May 23, 2003 - Comparison 2)

Using the wind calibration based on the July 11, 2003 flight, a comparison of two time segments is shown for the May 23, 2003 reverse track flight when the aircraft flew over a similar location (Figure 1).

  • Figure 1: The aircraft's position (latitude versus longitude) during comparison 2 on the May 23, 2003 flight. Symbols are given every second for two time segments. The seconds from midnight are given for the start and end of each time segment.

  • Figure 2: The wind magnitude versus time during comparison 2 on the May 23, 2003 flight. Symbols are given every second for the two time segments illustrated in Figure 1. The time gap between the two segments is when the aircraft was turning around so it could overfly the same location.

  • Figure 3: The wind magnitude versus latitude during comparison 2 on the May 23, 2003 flight. Symbols are given every second for the time segments illustrated in Figure 1.

  • Figure 4: The wind magnitude versus longitude during comparison 2 on the May 23, 2003 flight. Symbols are given every second for the time segments illustrated in Figure 1.

  • Figure 5: The wind direction versus time during comparison 2 on the May 23, 2003 flight. Symbols are given every second for the two time segments illustrated in Figure 1. The time gap between the two segments is when the aircraft was turning around so it could overfly the same location.

  • Figure 6: The wind direction versus latitude during comparison 2 on the May 23, 2003 flight. Symbols are given every second for the time segments illustrated in Figure 1.

  • Figure 7: The wind direction versus longitude during comparison 2 on the May 23, 2003 flight. Symbols are given every second for the time segments illustrated in Figure 1.
