Abstract
An improved method using a conical-scanning correlation lidar was developed for wind measurements in the atmospheric boundary layer. The method is based on temporal correlation of lidar signals measured in multiple slant directions. In the new data analysis method, the number of calculation steps is approximately 1/8 of that of our previous method. The method was demonstrated using a compact Mie scattering lidar with a wedge prism conical scanner. The results were compared with simultaneous rawinsonde measurements. The measured wind profiles show qualitative agreement with the sonde data at altitudes where aerosol density is high.
