MOSAiC: Wind profiles from Galion G4000 Lidar Wind Profiler

Wind profiles from a Galion G4000 Doppler lidar for the international Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) project, derived from conical scans at 30 degree and 50 degree beam elevation angles.



The University of Leeds participation in the project- MOSAiC Boundary Layer -was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC, grant: NE/S002472/1) and involved instrumentation from the Atmospheric Measurement and Observations Facility of the UK's National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS AMOF). This was a year-long project on the German icebreaker Polarstern to study Arctic climate focused on measurements of atmospheric boundary layer dynamics and turbulent structure. The Galion wind profiler provides high resolution (~15m vertical and 5 minute temporal) measurements of wind profiles. Data are only available where sufficient particles are available to backscatter the laser light - in the clean arctic environment, this requires cloud or precipitation.
