Faculty Aerospace Engineering Department Aerodynamics, Wind Energy & Propulsion Date 2014-12-31 Abstract Remote sensing of the atmospheric variables with the use of LiDAR is a relatively new technique for wind resource assessment and oncoming wind prediction in wind energy. The validation of LiDAR measurements and comparisons with other sensing elements thus, is of high importance for further applications of the data. A measurement campaign with two vertical scanning pulsed LiDARs and met mast measurements was used here for comparison of inflow wind variables from LiDAR, sonic and cup anemometers. A comparison of the wind directions, wind speed and wind shear was performed to determine the validity of LiDAR measurements in wind energy applications. The LiDAR measurements correlated well with met mast measurements and a major cause for wind direction bias was found.
