Short Range Vertical Profile Wind Lidar

Short Range Vertical Profile Wind Lidar

WindMast PBL

WindMast PBL short range vertical profile wind lidar is based on the optical pulse coherent Doppler frequency shift detection principle, designed to meet the fine detection needs of three-dimensional wind fields within the atmospheric boundary layer. The lidar comes in two models: Model I is designed for detailed wind field detection within 350m at low altitudes, with spatial resolution accuracy down to 1 meter; Model II extends the detection range up to 1500m to meet diverse detection needs.

It outputs real-time data products such as wind profiles, turbulence intensity, vertical airflows, boundary layer height, cloud base height, signal-to-noise ratio, backscatter coefficient, and ground temperature, humidity, and pressure.

It is widely used in meteorological and climate research, meteorological model assimilation, atmospheric flux and pollutant regional transport diffusion studies, and low-altitude wind shear detection.
