Doppler Wind Lidar installed at Nafingalm

To test the range and availability of data from a Doppler Wind lidar at an Alpine site in ~2000 m elevation, a Leosphere Windcube 200S was installed at the envisioned site for our TEAMx campaign in 2025. Installed at a local farmers cabin, we can scan all the way up to the Geiseljoch and over our targeted measurement area between Geiseljoch and Nafing lake.

A recent quicklook to check data availability can be always be found here: https://www.pa.op.dlr.de/DFWind_PA/lidar.html

We hope to capture good statistics of the dominant valley flow features and test mean wind and turbulence retrievals on the lidar scans under these conditions.
