SWA Lidar Applications

Since 1983, Simpson Weather Associates has been funded by NASA, NOAA, U.S. DoD, CNRS, Lockheed, General Electric, and Northrop Grumman to develop simulation models for space-based and airborne Doppler lidar wind measuring systems. The integration of lidar technology with SWA's capabilities in atmospheric research makes us an unique resource to agencies interested in lidar wind measurements.

SWA's current Lidar-related activities include:
bulletLidar Simulation Models for Space-based and Airborne systems: Doppler Lidar Simulation Model 4.2, Mars Lidar Simulation Model 1.0, DLSM 1995
bulletAirborne Doppler Lidar - TODWL
bulletOn-board Real Time Mission Management and Visualization Systems for Airborne Doppler Wind Lidar I-LIMMS
bulletGround-based Wind Observing Lidar Facility - GWOLF

SWA's Doppler Wind Lidar Documents and Products:
bulletCollection of Published Requests for Global Wind Observations
bulletGlobal Tropospheric Wind Sounder Mission Requirements
bulletDWL Simulated Products for the NPOESS Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs)
bulletTarget Atmosphere Profiles for Doppler Lidar Trade Studies
bulletProposed DWL missions Performance Diagrams
bulletHybrid Doppler Wind Lidar Studies

SWA's past Lidar-related activities include:
bulletGround-based DWL research - Tools and Data Display Models
bulletAirborne Doppler lidar data research - MACAWS
bulletConvection And Moisture EXperiment (CAMEX)
bulletSPAce Readiness Coherent Lidar Experiment (SPARCLE)
