Comparison of Horizontal and Vertical Scintillometer Crosswinds during Strong Foehn with Lidar and Aircraft Measurements

Measurements of the horizontal and vertical wind component by a crosswind scintillometer during foehn, the chinooklike downslope windstorm in the Alps, are presented. Because of the sparsity of vertical velocity measurements in the immediate vicinity, the scintillometer calibration is checked mainly...

Zusammenfassung:Measurements of the horizontal and vertical wind component by a crosswind scintillometer during foehn, the chinooklike downslope windstorm in the Alps, are presented. Because of the sparsity of vertical velocity measurements in the immediate vicinity, the scintillometer calibration is checked mainly with horizontal wind measurements.
