The method and results of lidar studies of spatiotemporal variability of windturbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer are reported. The measurementswere conducted by a Stream Line pulsed coherent Doppler lidar (PCDL) with the use of conical scanning by a probing beam around the vertical axis. Lidar data are used to estimate the kinetic energy of turbulence, turbulent energydissipation rate, integral scale of turbulence, and momentum fluxes. Thedissipation rate was determined from the azimuth structure function of radialvelocity within the inertial subrange of turbulence. When estimating thekinetic energy of turbulence from lidar data, we took into account theaveraging of radial velocity over the sensing volume. The integral scale ofturbulence was determined on the assumption that the structure of randomirregularities of the wind field is described by the von Kármánmodel. The domain of applicability of the used method and the accuracy of the estimation of turbulence parameters were determined. Turbulence parameters estimated from Stream Line lidar measurement data and from data of a sonic anemometer were compared.
