Characterization of short time fluctuations in atmospheric wind speeds by LIDAR measurements

Wind velocity measurements were taken using a Leosphere Windcube LIDAR system, which operates as a pulsed laser Doppler anemometer. Here we report on first results, which show typical characteristics of atmospheric wind velocities. Especially pronounced intermittent (or heavy-tailed) probability den...
