Abstract

Results of joint measurements of height profiles of wind velocity and direction by the Stream Line pulse coherent Doppler lidar and RS92-SGP radiosonde in Tomsk from 23 to 27 of September, 2013, are presented. It has been established that wind profiles can be retrieved up to heights from 400 to 1100 m depending on the aerosol concentration in the atmospheric boundary layer from lidar data measured at an elevation angle of 45°. It is shown that the coefficient of correlation between lidar and radiosonde measurements of wind velocity and direction is equal to 0.97. The mathematical expectation and standard deviation of the difference between estimates for the wind velocity and direction from the radiosonde and lidar data amount to 0.1 and 0.7 m/s, respectively, for the velocity and 0.8° and 4°, respectively, for the wind direction.
