Abstract

The WPL pulsed coherent Doppler lidar (PCDL) designed at the Wave Propagation Laboratory of Institute of Atmospheric Optics, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, was tested in two experiments carried out in 2021 at the Basic Experimental Observatory of the Institute and on the coast of Lake Baikal. The experiments also involved a serial Stream Line PCDL (HALO Photonics, Great Britain). The comparative analysis of estimates of the average horizontal and vertical wind speeds from measurements with the Stream Line and WPL lidars showed a good agreement between the results (the correlation coefficient of the estimates is 0.98 with a 30-min averaging of the data).
