Accuracy of estimation of the turbulence energy dissipation rate in the atmospheric boundary layer from measurements of the radial wind velocity by micropulse coherent Doppler lidars

摘要

The accuracy of the method of azimuth structure function for estimation of the dissipation rate of the kinetic energy of turbulence from an array of radial velocities measured by low-energy coherent Doppler lidars with conical scanning by a probing beam around the vertical axis has been studied numerically. The domain of applicability of the method has been determined for different levels of the turbulence intensity and the signal-to-noise ratio.
