Abstract
Possibilities of wind speed measurement in the atmospheric layer from 10 to 20 km with a ground-based pulsed coherent Doppler lidar (PCDL) operating on molecular light scattering are numerically studied. Requirements for the parameters of PCDL with sounding radiation wavelengths of 1 and 2 mm for receiving reliable information about the wind speed and direction in the atmospheric layer under study are determined in numerical experiments.
