Abstract:

Data processing procedure for estimation of the turbulent energy dissipation rate from wind measurements by a pulsed coherent Doppler lidar (PCDL) at conical scanning by the probing beam is presented. The procedure is tested by the numerical simulation and used for investigation of the feasibility and accuracy of estimation of the dissipation rate from conically scanning PCDL data. Error of the lidar estimate of the dissipation rate versus number of full scans is calculated.
