Airborne Doppler lidar measurements are a valuable tool in meteorological research. A new airborne Doppler lidar system has been developed jointly by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Technical University of Brunswick. The system is designed for use aboard a medium-range turboprop aircraft, thereby targeting meso-scale flow phenomena. In order to optimize system setup and retrieval strategy, as well as evaluate measurement quality under turbulent conditions, a first LES-based airborne Doppler lidar simulator has been developed. The results provide detailed insight into airborne Doppler lidar wind profiling characteristics.
