Abstract

Floating-lidar-derived wind profiles are used to retrieve the vertical wind speed gradient, dimensionless wind shear, and dimensionless stability using Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) in the context of IJmuiden campaign. Reference retrievals are obtained by applying the same methodology to metmast-derived wind profiles. Wind gradient estimates from floating lidar measurements are successfully compared to those from the reference metmast at three different heights, yielding coefficients of determination higher than ρ2 = 0.83. MOST flux relationships are also re-encountered when representing the dimensionless wind shear estimates as a function of dimensionless stability.
