Abstract
A turbulence analysis system comprises a communication interface and a processing system. The communication interface receives time variance metrics for a plurality of satellite signals. The time variance metrics correspond to variances in signal transfer times for individual satellite signals. The processing system determines position metrics for the individual satellite signals. The position metrics correspond to geometric signal paths in a three-dimensional area for the individual satellite signals. The processing system processes the position metrics and the time variance metrics for the satellite signals to allocate atmospheric turbulence values to the three-dimensional area to produce an atmospheric turbulence map indicating the atmospheric turbulence values in the three dimensional area. The communication interface transfers the atmospheric turbulence map.
