Abstract

A method for estimation of the turbulent energy dissipation rate from measurements by a conically scanning pulsed coherent Doppler lidar (PCDL), with allowance for the wind transport of turbulent velocity fluctuations, has been developed. The method has been tested in comparative atmospheric experiments with a Stream Line PCDL (Halo Photonics, Brockamin, Worcester, United Kingdom) and a sonic anemometer. It has been demonstrated that the method provides unbiased estimates of the dissipation rate at arbitrarily large ratios of the mean wind velocity to the linear scanning speed.
