Adaptive optics in coherent lidar wind measurements: A feasibility study [PDF]
Laser Doppler radar (lidar) is widely used for remote sensing of wind velocities. Usable wavelengths for the laser are limited by the effects of atmospheric turbulence. An adaptive optical system is proposed to compensate for turbulence effects on signal

Latent Heat Fluxes over Complex Terrain Measured by Airborne Water Vapour and Wind Lidars [PDF]
, 2010 The combination of a water vapour and a wind lidar on an aircraft is an interesting new tool that allows to measure latent heat flux profiles and to portray the small- to mesoscale variability beneath the aircraft trajectory with high accuracy and ...

Doppler lidar signal and turbulence study [PDF]
Wind fields were measured with the ground-based NASA/MSFC lidar are compared with the in situ NASA RB-57 aircraft measurements. The mean wind fields, the turbulence intensities, and the turbulence spectra determined from measurements by both systems are ...

Aircraft/lidar turbulence comparison [PDF]
Very good agreement between remotely sensed winds using a ground-based Doppler lidar and in situ measurements with an instrumented aircraft is possible. Results show that turbulence intensities computed from time histories measured with the aircraft and ...

Evaluation of data obtained from atmospheric laser Doppler velocimeter [PDF]
The Doppler lidar velocimeter produces a variety of kinds of data. Besides the line of sight velocity components, there are the reflected amplitudes and the Doppler widths. Computer graphics software for displaying these data was produced.
