Correction of Doppler-broadened Rayleigh backscattering effects in H2O dial measurements [PDF]
A general method of solutions for treating effects of Doppler-broadened Rayleigh backscattering in H2O Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL) measurements are described and discussed. Errors in vertical DIAL measuremtns caused by this laser line broadening

Latent Heat Flux Profiles from Collocated Airborne Water Vapor and Wind Lidars during IHOP_2002 [PDF]
Latent heat flux profiles in the convective boundary layer (CBL) are obtained for the first time with the combination of the DLR water vapor differential absorption lidar (DIAL) and the NOAA high resolution Doppler wind lidar (HRDL).

Comparing triple and single Doppler lidar wind measurements with sonic anemometer data based on a new filter strategy for virtual tower measurements [PDF]
In this study, we compare the wind measurements of a virtual tower triple Doppler lidar setup to those of a sonic anemometer located at a height of 90 m above ground on an instrumented tower and with those of two single Doppler lidars to evaluate the ...

Atmospheric Boundary Layer Classification With Doppler Lidar [PDF]
AbstractWe present a method using Doppler lidar data for identifying the main sources of turbulent mixing within the atmospheric boundary layer. The method identifies the presence of turbulence and then assigns a turbulent source by combining several lidar quantities: attenuated backscatter coefficient, vertical velocity skewness, dissipation rate of ...

Real Time Turbulence Estimation Using Doppler Lidar Measurements
A preliminary work on a new way to estimate atmospheric turbulence using high-frequency Doppler lidar measurements is presented. The turbulence estimations are based on wind reconstruction using 3D Doppler lidar observations and a particle filter.
