A Rotary Platform Mounted Doppler Lidar for Wind Measurements in Upper Troposphere and Stratosphere
2022
Overview
A Doppler lidar mounted on a rotary platform has been developed for measuring wind fields in the upper troposphere and stratosphere. The rotating platform was used to support a large system for the detection of wind velocities of sight (VOS) in four directions. The principle, structure, and parameters of the lidar system are introduced. The Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI), the core component of the wind measurement system, was designed after comprehensively considering the measurement uncertainty and the influence of Mie scattering. Its dual-edge channel bandwidth is 1.05 GHz with 3.48 GHz spacing. In operation, the FPI channels are locked to the laser frequency with a stability of 14.8 MHz. Compared with the local radiosonde, it was found that the deviation in wind speed below 28 km was generally less than 10 m/s, and the deviation in wind direction below 19 km was less than 10 degrees. The 42-day profile comparison between lidar in Hefei and radiosondes in Anqing and Fuyang was analyzed. The statistical results show that the wind speed and wind direction deviations between lidar and radiosondes below 20 km were approximately 10 m/s and 20 degrees, respectively, which are comparable to the regional differences in the wind field. However, as altitudes exceed 20 km, the deviations increased rapidly with height. The experiments indicate that the Doppler lidar could measure wind fields from 7 km to 30 km, with better detection accuracy below 20 km.
