Session description

Lidars are quickly becoming the go-to instrument for measuring the wind resource high aloft; onshore, offshore, and on floating platforms. In this session we will look at a number of technical aspects including: the limitations of using turbulence intensities derived from lidar measurements, are we reaching the limits for how high we can measure, what are the specific problems of measuring in cold (and dry) areas, and finally, making sure the quality of the lidar output is as high as possible. As you can see, a wide-ranging session, with many difficult and interesting aspects of measuring the wind with lasers!
