Abstract
The turbulence parameters obtained using lidar are compared with the parameters determined from the average values of velocity and temperature in the surface air layer. The results of observations of the structural constant of the refractive index Cn2 obtained from the ratio of the turbulent lidar returns in the surface air layer when working along a slightly inclined sounding path are presented. A method for determining the rate of kinetic energy dissipation from lidar data has been tested.
