Shipborne wind measurement and motion-induced error correction by coherent doppler lidar over yellow sea in 2014

Shipborne wind observations by the Coherent Doppler Lidar (CDL) during the 2014 Yellow Sea campaign are presented to study the structure of the Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer (MABL). This paper gives an analysis of the correction for horizontal and vertical wind measurement, demonstrating that the combination of the CDL with the attitude correction system enables the retrieval of wind profiles in the MABL during both anchored and cruising measurement with satisfied statistical uncertainties
