Doppler lidar wind profiles from Granada
<p>This is data set includes Doppler wind lidar quantities which were calculated from measurements performed between 2016 and 2020 at <em>Andalusian Global Observatory of the Atmosphere</em>, AGORA, in particular, at the UGR station, Andalusian Institute for Earth System Research (IISTA-CEAMA) in Granada, Spain (37.16ºN, 3.61ºW, 680 m a.s.l.).</p> <p>The system is a Doppler lidar Stream Line (Halo Photonics), which is part of ACTRIS-Cloudnet (Illingworth et al., 2007). The system laser emits at 1.5 μm and the detector is heterodyne using fiber-optic technology. The measurements for this data set consisted of conical scans with constant elevation of 75° and 12 equidistant azimuth points performed every 10 min. A more detailed description of the instrument can be found in (Ortiz-Amezcua et al., 2022)</p>
UW-Madison SSEC Lidar Wind Profiler for WiscoDISCO 21
<p>Data from a doppler lidar wind profiler at the Chiwaukee Prairie, WI air monitoring site. There are two datastreams: chiwaukee_wind_profiles_YYYYMMDD.cdf and chiwaukee_stare_YYYYMMDD.cdf due to the way the data are collected. The lidar was programmed to carry out a vertical wind profile every 5 mins. In between, the lidar is staring vertically in zenith-pointing mode. Therefore, there are two separate temporal resolutions. The wind_profiles files contain wind speed, wind direction, vertical velocity, and signal-to-noise ratio. The data were thresholded at SNR == 0.008 during the processing, so that worse SNRs than that are not included. The stare files contain data on backscatter, vertical velocity, and intensity, with better representation of the vertical coordinate. </p> <p>Vertical velocity is given in each of the two datastreams. There are two ways to get at the vertical velocity: one, as a direct measurement of the along-beam doppler velocity when it is in zenith mode, and two, as the residual in the calculation of the horizontal wind vector from the non-zenith stares at various azimuths. The latter is convenient in that it represents the w component of the wind on the same time/height grid as the u and v components, but it is more temporally coarse than the vertical stare measurement. </p> <p>The wind profiles are processed using code developed by Rob Newsom (Dept of Energy Pacific Northwest National Laboratory) and Dave Turner (NOAA Earth Systems Research Lab) and used operationally at the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) sites throughout the world. </p>

Wind Profile Data: LIDAR - NOAA (FIFE)
The aim of this wind profile study was to derive wind profiles and momentum fluxes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/Wave Propagation Laboratory (WPL) Doppler LIDAR, and compare LIDAR and airborne measurements of mean wind, turbulent structure, momentum flux, and heat flux. Another objective was to compare profiles of mean wind and temperature obtained from aircraft, balloon sondes, and wind LIDAR. These data were collected at one location near the center of the FIFE study area but in the northwest quadrant. Data were acquired for a two week period during June and July 1987. Pulsed Doppler LIDAR measures the radial (along-beam) velocity as a function of range using light-scattering particles in the air as tracers. When the LIDAR beam is directed straight upward and the backscattered return as a function of height is recorded, vertical aerosol profiles may be determined. Various pointing and scanning schemes permit measurement of a variety of mean and turbulent quantities based on assumptions about the flow. The remote-sensing character of LIDAR offers the ability to measure flow parameters simultaneously at all the heights in a profile. The winds were obtained with the VAD (Velocity Azimuth Display) technique. The LIDAR only operates above 500 m, therefore the wind profile begins above the ground surface. Data in the planetary boundary layer are usually continuous, but gaps appear occasionally in profiles extending to several kilometers. Profiles were unsmoothed, and the LIDAR's short pulse made adjacent data points almost independent.
