Exploration of LiDAR measured turbulence via met mast comparison, fatigue analysis & Measure Correlate Predict

Several factors play a role in the ongoing process of the acceptance and eventual universal use of LiDAR remote sensing technology in wind site assessment. Especially turbulence parameter 푇퐼 is still giving food for thought. Three important aspects of LiDAR measured 푇퐼 that are considered key are picked out and feature in this work, which...

Determination of aerosol optical properties with lidar: A comparison between algorithms

Lidar systems can provide vertically resolved measurements of the physical and optical properties of the atmospheric particles with high spatiotemporal resolution. In this study, four case studies were analyzed and studied in order to identify the dominant aerosol type over the city of Nicosia in Cyprus: 05 April and 07 April 2015 and 17 April...

Multi-sensor remote sensing parameterization of heat fluxes over heterogeneous land surfaces

The parameterization of heat transfer by remote sensing, and based on SEBS scheme for turbulent heat fluxes retrieval, already proved to be very convenient for estimating evapotranspiration (ET) over homogeneous land surfaces. However, the use of such a method over heterogeneous landscapes (e.g. semi-arid regions or agricultural land) becomes...
