Abstract

Ocean University of China lidar team operated a pulse coherent Doppler lidar (PCDL) for the low level wind shear monitoring at the Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA) in 2015. The experiment configuration, observation modes is presented. A case study shows that the low level wind shear events at the southern end of 18R/36L runway were mainly caused by the trees and buildings along the glide path under strong northwest wind conditions.

Highlights

  • A case study shows that the low level wind shear events at the southern end of 18R/36L runway were mainly caused by the trees and buildings along the glide path under strong northwest wind conditions

  • Wind speed profiles are effective tools to illustrate the wind speed varying with height, it is useful to identify the wind shear occurring at different height

  • Wind speed retrieved from the PPI scan data is related to the intercept angle between the laser beam pointing direction and the prevailing wind
