Zusammenfassung |
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the near-zero wind velocity
measurement performance of two separate 1.5 μm all-fiber coherent Doppler
lidars (CDLs). The performance characterization is carried out through the
presentation of the results from two separate atmospheric field campaigns. In
one campaign, a recently developed continuous wave (CW) CDL benefiting from
an image-reject front-end was deployed. The other campaign utilized a
different CW CDL, benefiting from a heterodyne receiver with intermediate-frequency (IF) sampling. In both field campaigns the results are compared
against a sonic anemometer, as the reference instrument. The measurements
clearly show that the image-reject architecture results in more accurate
measurements of radial wind velocities close to zero. Close-to-zero
velocities are usually associated with the vertical component of the wind and
are important to characterize. |
