Assessing the metrological capabilities of Wind Doppler Lidars

Since lidars are becoming industrial instruments, it is mandatory to ensure a good traceability of parameters and performances for all users. For most Doppler lidar applications, an accurate metrology is required, first of course for the radial wind component, but also for range and line of sight direction. In order to give to the user the more reliable information about its products, Leosphere is conducting a metrology plan, based on theoretical assumptions, simulation computations and experimental validations.
