WIND Instrument Single LOS versus VAD Ch. Werner, I. Smalikho, J. Streicher, O. Reitebuch DLR Institute of Atmospheric Physics A. Dabas Meteo France P. Delville INSU
Error of wind velocity estimate E versus the difference between the laser beam direction and true wind direction‘ = q- qv at U = 1 m/s (a); U = 10 m/s (b); U = 30 m/s; d = 5 deg (1);d= 10 deg (2); d = 20 deg; sLOS = 0.1 m/s (dashed curve) andsLOS = 1 m/s (solid curves)
Color plot of the LOS versus pulse number non-scanning (above) and VAD scan (below)
LOS component 177° (above) versus wind profile (below)
The estimated wind is about 6.5 m/s from 145 degree This gives about 3.4 m/s LOS for the Estimated 177 degree fixed LOS measurement It is proposed to perform a flight with 50 km LOS measurements and 150 km using VAD scans for an ADM data base
Proposed WIND flight for ADM LOS (50 km) and VAD (150 km) ERS-SAR or Envisat SAR track suggested
Map of the area around Marseille (France) and flight path for the Doppler lidar WIND with circles showing the laser ground position
Density plot of the hetorodyne signal, two positions of the cursor are selected for land return (a) and river return (b)
Two intensity profiles for the cursor positions a (land) and b (water) land river
