The evaluation of boundary‐layer turbulence in high‐resolution numerical weather prediction simulations using Doppler lidar

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A new method compares both kilometer and sub‐kilometre weather model simulations with Doppler lidar observations to assess the representation of boundary‐layer turbulence. While bulk boundary‐layer properties are well represented, vertical velocity variance is strongly underestimated in both simulations.

Modeling rainfall drop size distribution moments using an S‐band polarimetric radar in complex terrain

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Using S‐band dual‐polarization radar and disdrometers during PRECIP 2022 in Taiwan, we analyze a Mei‐Yu frontal event with widespread stratiform rain and embedded convection. Multiple disdrometers are used to create a novel drop size distribution model for S‐band radars resolving both the drizzle and precipitation modes. The model reveals both inferred

An assessment of the performance of a 1.5 μm Doppler lidar for operational vertical wind profiling based on a 1-year trial [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2015
We present the results of a 1-year quasi-operational testing of the 1.5 μm StreamLine Doppler lidar developed by Halo Photonics from 2 October 2012 to 2 October 2013.

Characteristics of upper‐level updrafts and downdrafts in the anvils of tropical deep convective clouds

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study investigates the thermodynamic and microphysical characteristics of updrafts and downdrafts of tropical deep convective anvil clouds using in situ measurements. We found that parts of the downdrafts are in ice supersaturation in these clouds.

FLSea: Underwater Visual–Inertial and Stereovision Forward‐Looking Data Sets

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Visibility underwater is challenging and degrades as the distance between the subject and the camera increases. That is why forward‐looking underwater computer vision tasks are difficult. We have collected underwater forward‐looking stereovision and visual–inertial image sets using two underwater imaging platforms, a stereo camera rig, and an ...

Lidar Uncertainty Measurement Experiment (LUMEX) – Understanding Sampling Errors

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
Coherent Doppler LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) has been widely used to provide measurements of several boundary layer parameters such as profiles of wind speed, wind direction, vertical velocity statistics, mixing layer heights and turbulent ...

Dumpsite Seabed Characterization of the San Pedro Basin, CA, From Autonomous Vehicle Observations

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A wide‐area seabed survey was conducted using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in a known dumpsite off the coast of Southern California that has been found to have widespread sediment contamination from the chemical dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT).

Redefining Optimal Coverage Path Planning for FLS‐Equipped AUVs With Deep Reinforcement Learning

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 3617-3632, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have emerged as indispensable tools for a variety of subsea tasks, from habitat monitoring and seabed mapping to infrastructure inspection and mine countermeasures. A fundamental challenge in this field is Coverage Path Planning (CPP), the problem of ensuring complete and efficient area coverage.

Latent Heat Flux and TKE measurements from the combined use of Water Vapour Raman and Wind Doppler Lidars during WaLiNeas Campaign [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
Measurements of latent heat flux profiles in the daytime convective boundary layer were carried out in the frame of the WaLiNeAs field campaign, taking advantage of the combined use of two ground-based lidars: a water vapour Raman lidar and a wind ...
