Towards Detecting Atmospheric Coherent Structures using Small Fixed-Wing Unmanned Aircraft
The theory of Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) enables prediction of material transport by turbulent winds, such as those observed in the Earth's Atmospheric Boundary Layer. In this dissertation, both theory and experimental methods are developed for utilizing small fixed-wing unmanned airc...
