Abstract
We show a possibility of measuring wind speed with a lidar and a sampling method developed. An experimental setup operating at an eye-safe 0.355 mm wavelength is described; corresponding measurement data are presented. The dependence of the measurement quality on optical properties of the atmosphere is analyzed. The mean absolute errors are 1.05 m/s for the wind speed and 13.3° for the wind direction calculated with accumulated measurements for spring-autumn is.
