چکیده
This paper will provide an overview of some projects in support of Wind Energy development involving Doppler lidar measurement of wind flow profiles. The high temporal and vertical resolution of these profiles allows the uncertainty of Numerical Weather Prediction models to be evaluated in forecasting dynamic processes and wind flow phenomena in the layer of rotor-blade operation.

متن کاملMid-altitude wind measurements with mobile Rayleigh Doppler lidar incorporating system-level optical frequency control method.
A mobile Rayleigh Doppler lidar based on double-edge technique is developed for mid-altitude wind observation. To reduce the systematic error, a system-level optical frequency control method is proposed and demonstrated. The emission of the seed laser at 1064 nm is used to synchronize the FPI in the optical frequency domain. A servo loop stabilizing the frequency of the seed laser is formed by ...

متن کاملDevelopment of airborne 2-μm coherent lidar for CO2 and wind measurements
Wind profile is fundamental in many atmospheric phenomena. Most of the weather stations are on land, while the stations on the sea are very sparse. Present global three-dimensional wind data is not good enough to improve numerical weather prediction, the global climate model, and many other meteorological studies. Spaceborne infrared and visible imagers and microwave scatterometers can make win...
