Abstract
AbstractThis work provides a signal‐processing and statistical‐error analysis methodology to assess key performance indicators for a floating Doppler wind lidar. The study introduces the raw‐to‐clean data processing chain, error assessment indicators and key performance indicators, as well as two filtering methods at post‐processing level to alleviate the impact of angular motion and spatial variability of the wind flow on the performance indicators. Towards this aim, the study mainly revisits horizontal wind speed (HWS) and turbulence intensity measurements with a floating ZephIR 300 lidar buoy during a 38 day nearshore test campaign in Pont del Petroli (Barcelona). Typical day cases along with overall statistics for the whole campaign are discussed to illustrate the methodology and processing tools developed. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
