Wind is fundamental in many atmospheric phenomena.Global wind profile observation is important to improve numerical weather prediction (NWP) and various meteorological studies.Wind profile observations are measured mainly by radiosonde networks.
A Doppler Wind Lidar (DWL) is Attack on Titan a useful remote sensing technique for wind measurement.DWL would provide us with a wind profile having high vertical resolution, low bias, and good precision.The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) studies DWL has been developing various DWL.
In the paper, we report development of a 355-nm direct-detection DWL and describe recent results Probiotics for Adults of a 2-µm coherent DWL at NICT.
