Windtracer is a commercial Doppler Lidar from LMCT. It can be operated in scanning and slant path mode. The data is direct output of the Real Time Lidar Data Processing Unit containing UTC, scanner position, rangegates and measured line_of_sight_velocity, signal to noise ratio (SNR), and aerosol backscatter signal derived from SNR.

Description
SNR is a good parameter for the quality of the data. If SNR is below -8 dB for a measurementrate of 5 Hz or below -10 dB for 1 Hz the measurement is no longer trustworthy. Above this limits the uncorrelated random measurement error of line of sight velocity is below 20 cm per sek.
