V. E. Zuev, V. S. Komarov, and A. V. Kreminskii, "Application of correlation lidar data to modeling and prediction of wind components," Appl. Opt. 36, 1906-1914 (1997)
Statistical estimation of the quality of lidar wind velocity measurements
by the correlation method and the results of their application to the study of
local and regional climates as well as to the reconstruction and
ultrashort-range prediction (for forecasting periods ≤12 h) of mean zonal
and meridional wind velocity components are presented. Wind velocity
measurents with a three-path correlation lidar can be used successfully for
climatic–ecological monitoring of local territories.
