Doppler lidar scanning of flow over complex terrain

EOL Seminar talk at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Abstract: Doppler lidars have proven to be crucial to map flow fields over complex terrain. For the Perdigão 2017 field campaign 27 Doppler lidars, of which 19 had scanning capabilities, have been deployed to measure the flow over, within and around the Perdigão double ridges. This talk focuses on the analysis of measurements of 8 scanning lidars deployed by DTU to understand the following flow phenomena: recirculation zones that occur in the lee of the ridges within the valley wind resource assessment with scanning lidars in complex terrai
