Abstract: A coherent Doppler lidar has been used in an aircraft to measure the 2-dimensional wind field in a number of different atmospheric situations. The lidar, a pulsed CO2 system, was installed in the NASA Convair 990. Galileo ...

Abstract: A pulsed CO2 laser Doppler system was used to monitor thunderstorm gust fronts. Wind shears associated with the gust fronts were measured and tracked.
