The article discusses how wind LIDAR measurements can help understand wind patterns and turbulence for building design. Wind models used in building codes may not always be accurate due to limited data, so LIDAR technology offers a more direct and precise way to measure wind speed and turbulence. By using LIDAR, researchers can analyze how wind speed changes with height and calibrate surface roughness for better wind models. This technology provides a more accurate way to assess wind power and monitor wind characteristics for building safety.
