Parallel observation of multiple doppler lidars in the coastal region of the Pacific Ocean

Abstract

In these years, meteorological observation using the doppler lidar is applied in many fields. The evaluation on the long term performance of the Doppler lidar needs the measurement precision and the data missing rate. Although many investigation organizations tested the performance of the doppler lidar and had generally good results, the duration of the test was relatively short. Therefore, it is unknown whether the doppler Lidar is applicable to the long term meteorological observation. In this study, we carried out parallel observation of multiple doppler lidars at the coastal region of the Pacific Ocaen in the Kinki district in a year. This paper reports the result of examination on relationship between the data missing rate and Precipitation.
