Abstract :
This paper describes a high spectral resolution lidar technique which can be used to make Doppler wind field measurements using low-coherence lidar during the day. In particular the use of multiple Fabry-Perot etalons and narrowband interference filters in series are considered and measurements made using the technique are presented
