چکیده
1. Introduction Active remote sensors are turning into indispensible tools for aviation. Especially, coherent lidar systems which can detect atmospheric aviation hazards such as wake-vortices, air drafts, wind shear and turbulence have received wide interest. Such lidars have been deployed with increasing numbers at airports and research facilities around the world. Some of the common aviation safety applications include landing and takeoff in adverse conditions and aircraft spacing optimization at airports. The most widespread implementation of a coherent lidar transmitter is a high energy (milliJoules) and low repetition rate (multi Hz) solid-state laser

Method of radial velocities for the estimation of aircraft wake vortex parameters from data measured by coherent Doppler lidar.
The method of radial velocities (RV) is applied to estimate aircraft wake vortex parameters from measurements conducted with pulsed coherent Doppler lidar (PCDL). Operations of the Stream Line lidar and the 2-µm PCDL are simulated numerically to analyze the accuracy of the estimated wake vortex parameters with the RV method. The RV method is also used to estimate wake vortex trajectories and ci...

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...
