Abstract
A Leonardo Skiron3D Doppler lidar has recently been acquired with the aim of providing wind measurement at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport for research purposes and operational services for aviation meteorology. As an initial step, the lidar is placed at the research site of Cabauw, the Netherlands for intercomparison with a WindCube 200s lidar and in-situ mast wind measurements. The Skiron3D is operated in velocity-azimuth display (VAD) mode, while the WindCube 200s uses a Doppler Beam Swing (DBS) strategy to provide vertical profiles of wind speed and direction. A nearby 213m high mast provides a platform for in-situ wind measurements using cup anemometers, wind vanes. This work presents the comparison of the vertical profiles of both lidars. The lowest measuring heights of the wind lidars are additionally compared with the in-situ measurements in the mast.
