Monitoring lower-tropospheric wind profiles over the Tibetan Plateau using a new coherent Doppler wind lidar network

The temporal resolution is 10 minutes and vertical resolution is approximately 30 m, which will enable precise capture the rapid evolution of boundary-layer processes.

The coherent Doppler wind lidar can monitor wind profile from approximately 50 m above ground level up to 3–4 km. The specific elements in Level 2 excel files include: Date, Temperature (℃), humidity (%), pressure (hPa), Wind speed (m s-1), Wind direction, Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), 10-minute data acquisition rate, Standard deviation of 10-minute wind speed, Maximum 10-minute wind speed, Minimum 10-minute wind speed, Vertical velocity (positive upward, negative downward), Standard deviation of vertical velocity.
