Coherent Doppler Lidar Deployment in the Canopy Horizontal Array Turbulence Study

Abstract

The PI's and ASU students/staff deployed their coherent Doppler lidar from May 9, 2007 to June 11, 2007 in support of the Canopy Horizontal Array Turbulence Study (CHATS) The experiment took place in a walnut orchard near Davis, California The overall purpose of the experiment was to investigate the character of within-canopy Sub-Filter-Scale motions The full experiment occurred in two segments: A) from March 18 - April 18, and B) from May 10 - June 10th The time period between the two measurement periods corresponded with the transition of the walnut grove from bare branches to full foliage The ASU lidar group joined the experiment for the second phase The primary motivations of the ASU lidar deployment were:
