got the idea that every so often some "wise" men come to the idea to spend some money and time in that special field.

Yes correct there was a bunch of research spend into a working LIDAR based Turbulence Detection system. Had the chance to do some minor consulting work for one of the real specialists in a Munich based Think Tank and High Tech Company back in the early 90īs on a LIDAR sytem application.
Initially intended as a ground based system at airports, with a later development for an airborne version.
The system was demonstrated working on the 1994 ILA at Berlin. I lost track thereafter and I am not sure if a planned field test run at FRA or MUC was ever conducted.
From talks with the involved scientist I remember that at about the same time scientists in the US were working on a similar system. Havenīt heard from them either !!
As indicated the problem mainly sticks in the difference between "wet" and "dry" environment.
