Abstract:

To test a new technique for determining the propagation speed, direction, and length of internal gravity waves (IGWs) from measurements by three pulsed coherent Doppler lidars (PCDLs), experiments were conducted in 2024 and 2025 near Tomsk Akademgorodok. Estimates of IGW parameters derived from these lidar measurements are consistent with existing experimental data. The results confirm the fundamental feasibility of determining the parameters of IGW in the atmospheric boundary layer from measurements by three ground-based PCDLs.

Keywords:

pulsed coherent Doppler lidar, internal gravity wave (IGW), IGW propagation speed and direction, wind, atmospheric boundary layer
