OFFSHORE WIND RESOURCE ASSESSMENT ON THE WEST COAST OF AWAJI ISLAND (COMPARISON BETWEEN GALION DOPPLER LIDAR AND METEOROLOGICAL MAST)

抄録

We installed the Galion Doppler wind profiler onshore Awaji Island to verify its performance, prior to the offshore wind assessment. The Galion scans horizontal wind speed and wind direction remotely and widely, meanwhile the MetMast measures the in-situ winds with conventional anemometers, and here we analyze their measurements for comparison. As a result, strong correlation was found between these two devices, indicating the Galion Lidar has robust accuracy.
