Preliminary results of wind measurements by GLOW system in field campaigns

The Goddard Lidar Observatory for Wind (GLOW) has participated three field campaigns since Sept. 2000. Near 300 hours of wind measurement under a wide variety of conditions including day and night operation, high and low altitude, line of sight and horizontal winds, have been obtained from the GroundWinds intercomparison, Harlie-GLOW intercomparison ( HARGLO) and the International H2O Project (IHOP) field campaigns. The GLOW system has demonstrated the capability to atmospheric wind from ground up to 30 km with an accuracy of 0.4-6m/s.
