Observations and Analysis of Turbulent Wake of Wind Turbine by Coherent Doppler Lidar
Turbulent wake of wind turbine will reduce the power output of wind farm. The access to real turbulent wake of wind turbine blades with different spatial and temporal scales is provided by the pulsed Coherent Doppler Lidar (CDL) which operates by transmitting a laser beam and detecting the radiation backscattered by atmospheric aerosol particles. In this paper, the authors discuss the possibili...
متن کاملWave optics simulation of atmospheric turbulence and reflective speckle effects in CO2 lidar.
Laser speckle can influence lidar measurements from a diffuse hard target. Atmospheric optical turbulence will also affect the lidar return signal. We present a numerical simulation that models the propagation of a lidar beam and accounts for both reflective speckle and atmospheric turbulence effects. Our simulation is based on implementing a Huygens-Fresnel approximation to laser propagation. ...
متن کاملReconfiguration of the Noaa Topaz Lidar for Ground-based Measurement of Ozone and Aerosol Backscatter
The NOAA Tunable Optical Profiler for Aerosol and oZone (TOPAZ) lidar is a differential absorption lidar (DIAL) for measuring ozone concentration and aerosol backscatter profiles that was originally designed for nadir-looking operation from an airborne platform. In order to expand the capabilities of this system, we have reconfigured the TOPAZ system for ground-based zenith-looking operation an...
متن کاملSystem Simulation of Spaceborne and Airborne High Spectral Resolution Lidar for Aerosol Monitoring
Atmospheric aerosols play very important roles in climate change and air particulate pollution. Due to their highly variable optical and physical properties as well as to short atmospheric lifetimes and large spatial and temporal gradients, the aerosol impact on climate models and air pollution is really a complex task. Lidars based on elastic scattering have been largely used to measure aeroso...
متن کاملStatistical model for fading return signals in coherent lidars.
A statistical model for the return signal in a coherent lidar is derived from the fundamental principles of atmospheric scattering and turbulent propagation. The model results in a three-parameter probability distribution for the coherent signal-to-noise ratio in the presence of atmospheric turbulence and affected by target speckle. We consider the effects of amplitude and phase fluctuations, i...
