Mesopause-region temperature and wind measurements with pseudorandom modulation continuous-wave (PMCW) lidar at 589 nm.
A study on the feasibility of using pseudorandom modulation continuous-wave (PMCW) Na lidar for mesopause-region temperature and horizontal wind measurements is presented with a number of specific geometries and associated beam-telescope overlap functions, suitable for ground-based and airborne deployments. The performance of these deployment scenarios is analyzed by scaling from the received s...
متن کاملA comparison of Rayleigh and sodium lidar temperature climatologies
Temperature measurements from the PCL Rayleigh lidar located near London, Canada, taken during the 11 year period from 1994 to 2004 are used to form a temperature climatology of the middle atmosphere. A unique feature of the PCL temperature climatology is that it extends from 35 to 95 km allowing comparison with other Rayleigh lidar climatologies (which typically extend up to about 85 km), as w...
متن کاملLIDAR: Wind Lidar Systems for Wind Energy Deployment
1.0 Introduction he aim of IEA Wind Task 32 is to address the very fast development of wind lidar technologies and their applicability for more accurate measurement of wind characteristics relevant to reliable deployment of wind energy power systems. The purpose is to bring together actors in the research community and industry to create synergies in the many R&D activities already on-going in ...
متن کاملTesting the Performance of a Ground-based Wind LiDAR System
Traditional meteorological masts that are commonly used in wind energy applications are limited and very expensive to install in offshore locations. Therefore, it is necessary to search for an alternative method to replace the standard wind measurements (cup/sonic anemometers, vanes) used on a mast. The LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) technique has become a reasonable alternative in the las...
متن کاملWind observations above an urban river using a new lidar technique, scintillometry and anemometry.
Airflow along rivers might provide a key mechanism for ventilation in cities: important for air quality and thermal comfort. Airflow varies in space and time in the vicinity of rivers. Consequently, there is limited utility in point measurements. Ground-based remote sensing offers the opportunity to study 3D airflow in locations which are difficult to observe with conventional approaches. For t...
