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 coherence Doppler frequency shift detection principle, enabling fine detection of three-dimensional wind field in the atmospheric boundary layer. The lidar is available in two models: Type I is designed for precise wind field detection within 350 meters at low altitudes, with spatial resolution accuracy of up to 1 meter; Type II extends the detection range to 1500 meters, meeting a broader range of detection needs.

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

This lidar is widely applied in fields such as meteorological and climate research, meteorological forecasting model assimilation, atmospheric material flux and pollutant regional transmission and diffusion studies, and low-altitude wind shear detection.
