Wind Sensing Using a Conical Scanned CO2 Laser Doppler System

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

This paper describes low level wind measurements using the ground prototype of the LATAS CO2 laser velocimeter in conjunction with a conical scanner. Measurements of wind speed and direction as a function of altitude up to a few hundred metres are obtained under different weather conditions demonstrating the potential for rapid acquisition and display of local wind field data. A measurement giving clear indication of directional wind shear is shown together with cloud effects.
