Abstract
A pulsed coherent Doppler lidar (PCDL) developed at the Wave Propagation Laboratory of Institute of Atmospheric Optics, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences (LRV lidar) was tested in two experiments carried out in 2021 at the Basic Experimental Observatory of Institute of Atmospheric Optics SB RAS and on the coast of Lake Baikal. In those experiments, a serial Stream Line PCDL (HALO Photonics, Great Britain) was also involved. The comparative analysis of estimates of the average horizontal and vertical wind speeds from measurements with Stream Line and LRV lidars showed a good agreement between the results (the correlation coefficient of the estimates is 0.98 with a 30-minute averaging of the data).
