Platform-Motion Correction of Velocity Measured by Doppler Lidar

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;2008:;volume( 025 ):;issue: 008:;page 1369

Author(s): Hill, Reginald J.; Brewer, W. Alan; Tucker, Sara C.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The NOAA/Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) has two coherent Doppler lidar systems that have been deployed on board research vessels to obtain data during several experiments. The instruments measure the wind velocity ...

The Optical Autocovariance Wind Lidar. Part I: OAWL Instrument Development and Demonstration

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;2018:;volume 035:;issue 010:;page 2079

Author(s): Tucker, Sara C.; Weimer, Carl S.; Baidar, Sunil; Hardesty, R. Michael

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: AbstractWe present the motivation, instrument concept, hardware descriptions, and initial validation testing for a Doppler wind lidar (DWL) system that uses optical autocovariance (OA) in a field-widened quadrature ...

Doppler Lidar Estimation of Mixing Height Using Turbulence, Shear, and Aerosol Profiles

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;2009:;volume( 026 ):;issue: 004:;page 673

Author(s): Tucker, Sara C.; Senff, Christoph J.; Weickmann, Ann M.; Brewer, W. Alan; Banta, Robert M.; Sandberg, Scott P.; Law, Daniel C.; Hardesty, R. Michael

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The concept of boundary layer mixing height for meteorology and air quality applications using lidar data is reviewed, and new algorithms for estimation of mixing heights from various types of lower-tropospheric coherent ...

Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs) to Evaluate the Potential Impact of an Optical Autocovariance Wind Lidar (OAWL) on Numerical Weather Prediction

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;2015:;volume( 032 ):;issue: 009:;page 1593

Author(s): Atlas, Robert; Hoffman, Ross N.; Ma, Zaizhong; Emmitt, G. David; Wood, Sidney A.; Greco, Steven; Tucker, Sara; Bucci, Lisa; Annane, Bachir; Hardesty, R. Michael; Murillo, Shirley

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: he potential impact of Doppler wind lidar (DWL) observations from a proposed optical autocovariance wind lidar (OAWL) instrument is quantified in observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs). The OAWL design would provide ...

Horizontal-Velocity and Variance Measurements in the Stable Boundary Layer Using Doppler Lidar: Sensitivity to Averaging Procedures

Author(s): Pichugina, Yelena L.; Tucker, Sara C.; Banta, Robert M.; Brewer, W. Alan; Kelley, Neil D.; Jonkman, Bonnie J.; Newsom, Rob K.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Quantitative data on turbulence variables aloft?above the region of the atmosphere conveniently measured from towers?have been an important but difficult measurement need for advancing understanding and modeling of the ...

Lidar-Measured Wind Profiles: The Missing Link in the Global Observing System

Source: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society:;2013:;volume( 095 ):;issue: 004:;page 543

Author(s): Baker, Wayman E.; Atlas, Robert; Cardinali, Carla; Clement, Amy; Emmitt, George D.; Gentry, Bruce M.; Hardesty, R.
