PO119: Validation of Dual Scanning LiDAR for Wind Field Reconstruction under Coastal Atmospheric Conditions
Giannis Kissas, Wind Data Analyst , 2EN
Abstract
This study presents the results of a one-month validation campaign, conducted from March 19 to April 22, 2025, assessing the performance of a dual-scanning Doppler LiDAR (DSL) system for nearshore wind field reconstruction. The campaign was conducted using two scanning LiDAR units deployed in an extended-baseline configuration, along with a meteorological (met) mast serving as reference. The objective was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the DSL system in measuring horizontal wind speed, direction, and turbulence intensity (TI) under realistic field conditions. Two range gate length (RGL) configurations—100 m and 200 m—were systematically alternated to investigate the sensitivity of the system to probe volume effects. Results demonstrated excellent agreement between LiDAR-derived and mast-based wind speed and direction, with coefficients of determination R² ≥ 0.995 across both RGLs. However, TI was consistently underestimated by the DSL, varying with RGL and wind direction sector. The findings emphasize the system’s robustness for mean wind characterization and its limitations in capturing fine-scale turbulence. These results have practical implications for wind resource assessment in coastal and offshore environments where traditional met masts or floating LiDARs may not be feasible.
