The basic principle of Mie Doppler lidar for wind measurements is introduced. The structure of self-developed Mie Doppler lidar system is presented. Comparing experiment with a wind profiler is conducted. The horizontal wind speed and direction data from those two instruments show good agreement. From 0.55 to 2.4 km altitude,the average errors of horizontal wind speed and direction are 1 m/s and 7°,respectively. The example of continuous wind observation is given,and the dynamics of wind field is analyzed. The above results indicate that measurements on this Mie Doppler lidar system are reliable,and can be employed for the routine observations and analysis of low tropospheric wind. The space distribution of line-of-sight wind speed and horizontal wind profile are obtained by using PPI scan mode,which indicates that,the system may have the capability of wind shear and clear air turbulence detection.
