Why Is Wind Shear Detection
Important?
 If Low Level Wind Shear is encountered close to the ground
during aircraft take-off or landing procedures, it can be very
dangerous
 the change in velocity or direction can drastically alter lift,
indicated airspeed (IAS), and thrust requirements
 Can exceed aircraft climb capabilities
 US wind shear related Incidents between 1964 and 1985
 Over 25 US airline accidents
 625 fatalities
 200 injuries

Low Level Wind Shear Is a Major Safety
Hazard at Airport!

Low Level Wind Shear
 Causes of wind shear:
Terrain effects
Convective weather
Fronts
Temperature inversion
Wake vortices
Page 6 / date / name / ©Vaisala
Terrain wind shear
Hills, mountains
 Land-sea interaction
 Interaction between general and local wind fields
Very difficult to forecast without good measurements

How to Measure Terrain wind shear?
Wind profiler is an excellent tool for terrain wind shear
detection
Doppler weather radar can also detect terrain wind shear, but
sometimes ground clutter is a problem
Usually combination of several systems is needed
 LLWAS system can not be used for terrain wind shear
detection

Downburst
Microburst characteristics:
– Downdraft
– Intense localized downdraft exceeding 720 feet per minute at 300
feet, AGL
– Can exceed aircraft climb capabilities (all classes of aircraft)
–Windshear resulting from large downdrafts
– Result from large downdrafts striking the ground and spreading out
horizontally
– Winds can change direction by as much as 180 degrees and reach
velocities of 100 knots as far as 16 km ahead of the storm
– May increase as much as 50% between the surface and 1500 feet.

Downdraft
While the pilot
compensates for the
headwind by dipping
the nose, the aircraft
enters a downdraft.
A headwind slows and
lifts the aircraft above its
normal flight path.
A tailwind dangerously
reduces the aircraft’s
speed.
The glide path of a
normal landing.

How to Measure Downbursts?
Wind Profiler
 One point measurement
 No Horisontal shear
 Verical wind shear
Doppler Radar
 Mainly in rain
 Resolution, time lag
 Excellent in combination with LLWAS
 Lidar
 Does not work in rain
 Expensive
 Anemometers
 Horisontal shear
 Fast response time

How to Measure Fronts and
Temperature inversion
Wind profiler is an excellent tool for detecting Fronts and
Temperature inversions
Doppler radar is also good sensor for detecting Fronts and
Temperature inversions but clear air causes some problems

LLWAS
Wind data is analyzed in accordance with a wind shear
algorithm developed by NCAR for FAA
The algorithm employed by Vaisala LLWAS system is the
latest Phase III algorithm and is patented by NCAR
Vaisala is a licensee for that patented algorithm
 The algorithm is a module running on a AviMet system platform
 AviMet platform features like hot-standby duplication, displays and
workstation concept are available
Page 27 / date / name / ©Vaisala
LLWAS Algorithm
 A network of anemometers in and around the airport provide direct
wind measurements.
Wind data between sensors are analyzed to determine if there is
wind divergence (aircraft performance decreasing shear) or
convergence (aircraft performance increasing shear) in the
network.
 The intensity, location, and type of shear are calculated and the
standardized warnings are generated.
 Output is specific to every aircraft operation and runway heading.
Page 28 / date / name / ©Vaisala
LLWAS
 Low level wind shear and microburst conditions are assessed by
processing wind data collected from an array or network of wind
sensors.
 Number of wind sites is typically 8-16
 Wind sites consists normally of:
– 20-30 meter masts
– WAS425 ultrasonic sensor
– Radio Modem
– Solar panel with battery

FAA Wind Shear Terminology and Alert
Criteria
 ”Wind Shear With Loss”
 If the estimated IAS loss is between 15 and 30 knots, over 4 km of
flight
 “Microburst”
 If the estimated IAS loss is 30 knots or greater, over 4 km
 “Wind Shear With Gain”
 If a convergence zone is detected with a wind shear of 15 knots
(IAS gain) or greater

AviMet Wind Profiler displays
1. Alert when wind difference between two height levels
exceed pre-set limit
2. Alert for cross-wind and headwind vertical wind
shear separately
3. Alerts on temporal changes on vertical windshear
4. Turbulence alerts
Page 39 / date / name / ©Vaisala
AviMet Wind Profiler displays
Alert when wind difference between two height levels
exceed pre-set limit
 Important feature for vertical wind shear detection.
 Both the high-low altitude levels and the wind difference amount
are user configurable through password protected UI.
 The wind difference amount is calculated as vector difference.
 Five vertical shear warning layers. These layers can overlap totally
or partially.
 There is a timer for each eventual warning so that a user can set
the warning duration.
Page 40 / date / name / ©Vaisala
AviMet Wind Profiler displays
 Alert for cross-wind and headwind vertical wind shear
separately
Capability to alert user if wind difference between two height
levels exceed pre-set limit
Option to separately alert for cross-wind and headwind
vertical wind shear
 The alert height levels can be set in configuration
 The alert thresholds can be set in configuration
 The alert strings shown in alert displays follow closely the
LLWAS alert displays "runway; windshear type; windshear
strength; windshear height"

AviMet Wind Profiler displays
 Runway: Runway ID and direction
 A: Approach
 Departure
 Windshear type:
 VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
 VERTICAL CROSS WIND SHEAR
 VERTICAL HEAD WIND SHEAR
 altitude: The altitude between the lower and higher limits
calculation, used when difference is small
 altitude levels: The lower and higher limits of the shear calculation, used when
the difference is bigger
 windshear strength: Total, head or cross wind shear amount.
 For cross wind shear, L stands for left wind at first level if access (higher in
approach, lower in departure).
Page 42 / date / name / ©Vaisala
AviMet Wind Profiler displays
 Example: R22A VERTICAL WIND SHEAR 800FT 20KT
Here the wind shear is the total difference vector at 800FT
 Example for cross oriented shear:
R22A VERTICAL CROSS WIND SHEAR 800FT L20KT+
 It should be noted that the shear is reversed for planes
landing or taking off. So for landing aircraft the previous
example becomes:
 Example: R04D VERTICAL CROSS WIND SHEAR 800FT

AviMet Wind Profiler displays
Alerts on temporal changes on vertical windshear
 An alert can be issued when vertical windshear has a strong temporal
tendency.
 Temporal windshear alerts act as predictive alerts for windshear alerts.
 As the wind profiler normally averages the data for about 10 minutes, that time
interval is also used for temporal change interval.
 The windshear alerts overrides temporal windshear alerts if they are
happening simultaneously.
Page 44 / date / name / ©Vaisala
AviMet Wind Profiler displays
 Turbulence alerts
 As wind profiler is also capable to detect turbulence, alerts for turbulence
layers are created.
 The ICAO turbulence definition is used for classification.
 The ICAO turbulence definition:
 Very low – below 0.05g – Light oscillations
 Low – 0.05 to 0.2g – Choppy; slight, rapid, rhythmic bumps or cobblestoning
 Moderate – 0.2 to 0.5g – Strong intermittent jolts
 Severe – 0.5 to 1.5g – Aircraft handling made difficult
 Very severe – above 1.5g – Increasing handling difficulty, structural damage
possible.
 It should be noted that this classification is approximated, as windprofiler can
not measure turbulence effects for aircraft.
