Comparison of Two Lidar Methods of Wind Measurement by Cloud Tracking

We measured the horizontal wind speed vector with two separate lidar cloud tracking techniques. Data were taken during two measurement campaigns: HOLO-1, at Utah State University (USU), Utah, and HOLO-2 at St. Anselm College, New Hampshire. Army Research Office Lidar (AROL-2), Holographic Airborne Rotating Lidar Instrument (HARLIE), and a wide-angle camera were used during HOLO-1. Prototype Holographic Atmospheric Scanner for Environmental Remote Sensing (PHASERS) also participated in HOLO-2. Two measurement methods are described, and selected results from the two HOLO campaigns are shown
