Wind retrieval of airborne fiber Doppler wind lidar and experimental verification

Through the analysis of measurement characteristics for a 1 550nm all-fiber airborne doppler wind lidar,the ways of the velocity correction of plane and the exact wind retrieval algorithms were presented,also a software was completed for the derivation and display of the 3- dimension wind field for airborne Doppler lidar.A comparsion experiment between the airborne doppler lidar and sounding balloons was conducted.By the results statistics of 4airborne campaigns,the bias of wind speed and wind direction is below 1.4m/s and 10°respectively, and the correlation coefficients of wind speed and wind direction are all higer than 0.95.The performance of the lidar system and the accuracy of wind retrieval algorithms are validated by the experimental results.
