Abstract: The results of a theoretical study of the feasibility of wind velocity vector estimation from data, measured with a scanning coherent Doppler lidar, are presented. The estimation techniques considered are (a) the direct ...

Abstract: The 2-?m pulsed Doppler lidar, already successfully used for wind and turbulence measurements, has been modified for long-range wake-vortex characterization. In particular, a four-stage data processing algorithm has been ...

Abstract: Two methods for the estimation of the turbulence energy dissipation rate (TEDR) from data measured by a 2-?m coherent Doppler lidar are described in this paper. Based on data measured at the Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées ...

Abstract: The results of a theoretical and experimental study of the feasibility of the turbulent energy dissipation rate ?T measurements with a continuous wave (CW) CO2 Doppler lidar in the atmospheric boundary layer are presented. ...

Abstract: Doppler lidars measure the range-resolved line-of-sight wind component by extracting the Doppler shift of radiation backscattered from atmospheric aerosols and molecules. A virtual instrument was developed to simulate wind ...
