Abstract

Summary form only given. Study of the atmospheric wind field is fundamental for the understanding and prediction of the weather development. To overcome the spatial limitations of ground based observations, airborne measurements are recognised as excellent tools to study atmospheric processes. Optical remote sensing techniques with Doppler lidar have the potential to measure the three-dimensional wind field on an airborne platform. To obtain height resolved measurements over the depth of the atmosphere, pulsed systems with a scanning device are essential.
