Two Parameter-Retrieval Algorithms of Aircraft Wake Vortex with Doppler Lidar in Clear Air

Aircraft wake is a pair of strong counter-rotating vortices generated behind an aircraft, which might be very hazardous to a flowing aircraft and the detection of which has attracted much attention in aviation safety field. This conference paper introduces two parameter-retrieval algorithms, i.e., Optimization method and Max-min method. They have been integrated into a toolbox and can retrieve the parameters of wake vortex efficiently and robustly
