1 Deutscher Wetterdienst Comparison of wind profiler radar measurements with Doppler wind lidar profiles measurements at the Lindenberg GRUAN site Bernd Stiller, Ronny Leinweber, Volker Lehmann DWD - Deutscher Wetterdienst Meteorologisches Obseratorium Lindenberg Germany Ronny.Leinweber@dwd.de

2 Outline Motiation Radar wind profiler (RWP - technical specification Doppler wind lidars - technical specifications Comparison Doppler wind lidars s. RWP, Radiosonde (RS and COSMO-EU NWP model Campaign setup Results Conclusions

3 Motiation Since years commercial Doppler wind lidars aailable at the market proiding ertical profiles in of the horizontal wind the boundary layer at high temporal and ertical resolution Questions: What potential do Doppler lidars hae for operational wind profile measurements? Can wind lidars complement / replace existing instruments? For ealuation of Doppler wind lidars a comparison with (a well-established radar wind profiler was done

4 Radar wind profiler (DWD WP-Lindenberg: Frequency: 8 MHz WMO No.: 9 Latitude: 5, N Longitude:, E Height: m Vertical resolution: Range: 5 m for low mode - Pulse width: ns m for high mode - Pulse width: 75ns 5 m to 9 km for low mode, 9 range gates km to,5 km for high mode, range gates Beam angle: 5, Aeraging period: 7 minutes for wind, minutes for RASS Horizontal wind ector: Doppler beam swinging ( beams

19 Radar influenced by ground clutter in the lowest heights

20 Conclusion All Doppler wind lidars are in a good agreement with the radar wind profiler for a period of weeks differences in wind speed of.5m/s were obsered differences of were obsered for wind direction IMPORTANT: accurate alignment of lidar is required!! Large differences occur at the lowermost and uppermost altitude leels (ground clutter in RWP measurements / weak CNR Data aailability of wind lidars more than 9% up to 5 m complement the wind profile retrieed by (UHF radar wind profilers Doppler wind lidars are promising instruments for operational and scientific wind measurements in the boundary layer
