Verification of Wind Measurement to 450-Meter Altitude with Mobile Laser Doppler System

The Lockheed mobile atmospheric unit is a laser Doppler velocimeter system designed for the remote sensing of winds. The capability of the laser Doppler velocimeter accurately to measure winds to 150-meter altitude has been previously demonstrated. To assess the capability of the laser Doppler veloc...

Zusammenfassung:	The Lockheed mobile atmospheric unit is a laser Doppler velocimeter system designed for the remote sensing of winds. The capability of the laser Doppler velocimeter accurately to measure winds to 150-meter altitude has been previously demonstrated. To assess the capability of the laser Doppler velocimeter to measure winds at higher altitudes, the system was tested adjacent to the 481-meter instrumented WKY-TV television transmission tower at the National Severe Storms Laboratory test site near Norman, Oklahoma. Comparisons between the laser-measured winds and the anemometer-measured winds are presented. The sources of discrepancies between laser-measured wind and anemometer-measured wind are discussed.
