Flywheel Calibration of Coherent Doppler Wind Lidar [PDF]
Within the field of lidar measurement it is often debated why it is necessary to calibrate lidars given that they are ‘absolute’ instruments. By this is meant that, given two parameters; the laser wavelength and the frequency at which we sample the backscattered light, we are able to calculate the measured radial speed through the well-known equation ...

Abstract Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) provide continuous measurements of zenith wet delay (ZWD), reflecting column‐integrated atmospheric water vapor. While the slowly varying ZWD is routinely assimilated in numerical weather prediction, the rapid fluctuations on timescales of seconds to minutes that arise from boundary‐layer turbulence ...

Reconstructing Marine Boundary Layer Jets Over the South China Sea Using Machine Learning
Abstract Marine boundary layer jets (MBLJs) over the South China Sea (SCS) play a critical role in coastal heavy rainfall, yet their structure remains uncertain due to limited wind observations over the ocean. Here, we develop a U‐Net–based reconstruction framework to estimate 950‐hPa winds from satellite‐derived sea surface winds, providing a ...
