Measurement of a wind field with an airborne continuous-wave Doppler lidar

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An airborne homodyne conical scanning Doppler lidar for the measurement of a wind field has been built and was operated in a first test flight in May 1994. The design of the optic is described, and the single steps of the signal-processing chain to calculate an average wind are discussed. The results of a flight over Lake Ammersee are presented and are compared with the data obtained from the inertial reference system of the aircraft.
