Scan strategies for wind profiling with Doppler lidar – an large-eddy simulation (LES)-based evaluation [PDF]
Doppler-lidar scan techniques for wind profiling rely on the assumption of a horizontally homogeneous wind field and stationarity for the duration of the scan.

Monitoring Dust Events Using Doppler Lidar and Ceilometer in Iceland
Ground-based lidars and ceilometers are widely used for dust and volcanic ash observation around the world. This is particularly interesting in Iceland where high-altitude dust events occur frequently during strong wind conditions and volcanic eruptions.

Modular wind profile retrieval software for heterogeneous Doppler lidar measurements (AtmoProKIT v1.1) [PDF]
Retrieving wind profiles from Doppler lidar radial velocities requires processing software tools. The heterogeneity of Doppler lidar types and data acquisition settings, as well as scan patterns applied for wind profiling, makes wind profile processing ...
