Abstract: During September and October of 1984, the Wave Propagation Laboratory of NOAA used its pulsed infrared Doppler lidar in support of the U.S. Department of Energy's Atmospheric Studies in Complex Terrain (ASCOT) program. The ...

Abstract: Comparisons between measurements of a wind component by a Doppler lidar and by a conventional anemometer are presented. The two measurement techniques provided thirteen 15 min data sets which agreed within 0.04 m s?1 on ...

Abstract: A new millimeter-wave cloud radar (MMCR) has been designed to provide detailed, long-term observations of nonprecipitating and weakly precipitating clouds at Cloud and Radiation Testbed (CART) sites of the Department of ...

Abstract: To demonstrate the usefulness of active remote-sensing systems in observing forest fire plume behavior, we studied two fires, one using a 3.2-cm-wavelength Doppler radar, and one more extensively, using Doppler lidar. Both ...

Abstract: The design, construction, and first results are presented of a 915-MHz Doppler wind profiler that may be mounted on a moving platform such as a mobile land vehicle, ocean buoy, or a ship. The long dwell times in multiple ...
