Abstract

The method of maximum of the function of accumulated spectra (MFAS) was used for the first time to estimate the wind velocity vector from measurements by a micropulsed coherent Doppler lidar (MPCDL) with conical scanning by the probing beam. In the experiment with a Windcube 200s MPCDL, it is found that the use of MFAS allows an increase in the maximum height of retrieval of the vertical profiles of the wind speed and direction by an average of 30% in comparison with the filtered sine-wave fitting.
