Background
The 2001-2003 Lamar Low-Level Jet Projectprovided an opportunity to simultaneously compare
the wind fields measured remotely by pulsed LIDAR
and SODAR and directly by tower-mounted sonic
anemometers
These measurements were taken by NREL/NWTC
and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) during the first two weeks ofSeptember 2003 south of Lamar, Colorado which is
now the site of the 166 MW Colorado Green Wind
Plant

Results of Stationary Stare Inter-Comparisons
Under Optimal Observing Conditions
Sonic full vector velocity is projected
on to the LIDAR radial velocity for
direct comparison over nominal
periods of 10 minutes
The two compare nominally within0.1 ± 0.3 m/s or ± 2.5% over the
observed velocity range of 1.0 to
11.3 m/s
Compares favorably with similar
measurements by Hall, et al
#
usinga much earlier CO2 laser version of
the HRDL at height of 300 m and an
observed velocity range of 1 to 22
m/s

Obtaining Streamwise LIDAR Wind
Profiles Using Vertical Scan Mode Data
By design the majority of
available data was collected
in this mode
Not optimal for obtaininghorizontal wind speeds due
to
a potential lack of horizontal
homogeneity at low angles
sparse spatial sampling at
high angles

Conclusions
The achievable RMS accuracy of the pulsed LIDAR under
optimal sampling conditions appears to be in the vicinity of 0.3
m/s or 2.5%
Tower-induced flow distortion in the vicinity of the sonic
anemometers has limited the precision of the inter-comparisons
with the remote sensing instruments
The SODAR provided an RMS uncertainty in the range of 0.6 to
0.7 m/s or 5 to 6% under high SNR conditions and is limited by
the local flow distortion at the sonic anemometers
The pulsed LIDAR, when used in the conical scanning mode,
can provide very detailed vertical wind profiles
