Abstract:
A Doppler lidar (DL) based on the use of a single frequency TEA CO2 laser is described. Typical results of simultaneous measurements of the wind velocity vector with the help of the Doppler lidar and standard meteorological instrumentations mounted on a high meteorological mast. The experimental DL setup makes it possible to reliably determine the wind velocity under standard atmospheric conditions with the accuracy of 2–3 m/s at distances longer than 2 km, and with an additional adaptive amplifier – at distances up to 10 km.
