Floating Doppler Lidar Reveals Impact of Wind Turbulence on Offshore Structures.
The study compared wind turbulence measurements from a floating Doppler lidar to those from a fixed lidar on a metmast. They analyzed the horizontal wind speed data using statistical clustering methods. The researchers looked at different scenarios with varying wave and wind conditions in the North Sea. The findings show how well the floating lidar can measure wind turbulence compared to the fixed lidar, providing valuable insights for offshore wind energy applications.
