Abstract:
To enhance the accuracy of wind shear identification by coherent Doppler wind lidar (CDWL), it is necessary to clarify the variation characteristics of CDWL detection results under typical airflow disturbance conditions. This study first numerically simulated typical wind shear fields and generated the Plane Position Indication (PPI) results of CDWL through coordinate projection. Then, it compared the performance of the double-slope algorithm and the least squares algorithm on wind shear identification from the PPI data. The results showed that for wind fields with significant peak characteristics, the double-slope algorithm can more sensitively identify wind shear near the peak, compared with the least square algorithm. In contrast, for wind fields with stable, continuous and linear gradient characteristics, the least squares algorithm can better suppress noise and fit the wind speed gradient changes. Finally, a self-developed long-range CDWL was used to conduct wind shear detection experiments at a plateau airport. After the CDWL beam position was calibrated, its data were compared with those from the anemometer. The "least square + double-slope" scheme was adopted to analyze the typical wind shear case, and the effectiveness and reliability of the identification scheme were verified in combination with an aircraft crew report.
