One of the main objectives of this experiment was the remote measurement of wind speeds around the city to verify wind speeds and directions predicted by the Nonhydrostatic Mesoscale Model (MEMO). Remote determination of wind velocities in the mixing layer is important for the verification and determination of critical input parameters of urban-pollution transport models. Most present elastic-backscatter-lidar wind-speed-measurement methods rely on data acquired over time periods between 5 to 10 minutes (Matsui, 1990) and 30 minutes to 1 hour (Schols, et al. 1992). Lidar can measure the spatial properties of the wind field over large volumes of space. This capability is an improvement over present methods, which rely on instruments attached to balloons that measure only those winds along the path the balloon travels. The material that follows describes the principles implicit in the measurement of winds with an elastic-backscatter lidar, as well as the maximum cross-correlation algorithm used to extract wind speeds from lidar data acquired during the Summer Olympics at Barcelona, Spain, in July 1992.
