Abstract:Long range scanning lidars offer great potential to measure wind characteristics for a variety of application in offshore wind energy. In order to derive accurate wind measurements it is critical to thoroughly calibrate the beam alignment. In offshore environments, the pitch and roll angle of a scanning lidar can be determined from sea surface levelling (SSL). This paper compares two methods to perform SSL, a method based on PPI scans and a novel method using RHI scans. Moreover, a previously described method … Show more
