Abstract
Coherent Doppler lidar measurements of wind statistics in the boundary layer are presented. The effects of the spatial averaging by the lida r pulse are removed using theoretical corrections and computer simulat ions. This permits unbiased estimates of velocity variance, spatial ve locity structure functions, energy dissipation rate, and other point s tatistics of the velocity field.
