Abstract:
Results of simultaneous measurements of velocity and direction of wind in the lower atmosphere obtained with a three–path lidar and the "Meteor–RKZ" aerologic system are compared. The lidar employs a temporal spectral correlation technique for measurements of wind velocity by tracking aerosol fields moving across three sensing paths.
The comparison has demonstrated a satisfactory agreement between the results obtained using the two techniques. The values of standard deviations between the data on wind velocity and its direction observed in the experiment were 2.4 m/s and 32°, respectively. Some measures to be undertaken for improving the lidar performance are recommended.
