The method considers a ZephIR\u2122300 continuous-wave focusable Doppler lidar and does not require access to individual line-of-sight radial-wind information along the scanning pattern. The method combines a software-based velocity-azimuth-display and motion simulator and a statistical recursive procedure to estimate the horizontal wind speed standard deviation\u2014as a well as the turbulence intensity\u2014due to floating lidar buoy motion. The motion-induced error is estimated from the simulator\u2019s side by using basic motional parameters, namely, roll\/pitch angular amplitude and period of the floating lidar buoy, as well as reference wind speed and direction measurements at the study height. The impact of buoy motion on the retrieved wind speed and related standard deviation is compared against a reference sonic anemometer and a reference fixed lidar over a 60-day period at the IJmuiden test site (the Netherlands). Individual case examples and an analysis of the overall campaign are presented. After the correction, the mean deviation in the horizontal wind speed standard deviation between the reference and the floating lidar was improved by about 70%, from 0.14 m\/s (uncorrected) to \u22120.04 m\/s (corrected), which makes evident the goodness of the method. Equivalently, the error on the estimated turbulence intensity (3\u201320 m\/s range) reduced from 38% (uncorrected) to 4% (corrected).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10122037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,14]],"date-time":"2018-12-14T12:11:08Z","timestamp":1544789468000},"page":"2037","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Estimation of the Motion-Induced Horizontal-Wind-Speed Standard Deviation in an Offshore Doppler Lidar"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Miguel A.","family":"Guti\u00e9rrez-Antu\u00f1ano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CommSensLab, Unidad de Excelencia Mar\u00eda de Maeztu, Department of Signal Theory and Communications, Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Catalunya (UPC), E-08034 Barcelona, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8359-9378","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jordi","family":"Tiana-Alsina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics, Nonlinear Optics and Lasers (DONLL), Department of Physics (DFIS), Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Catalunya (UPC), E-08222 Terrassa, Spain"}]},{"given":"Andreu","family":"Salcedo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CommSensLab, Unidad de Excelencia Mar\u00eda de Maeztu, Department of Signal Theory and Communications, Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Catalunya (UPC), E-08034 Barcelona, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8614-4408","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesc","family":"Rocadenbosch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CommSensLab, Unidad de Excelencia Mar\u00eda de Maeztu, Department of Signal Theory and Communications, Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Catalunya (UPC), E-08034 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Institut d\u2019Estudis Espacials de Catalunya (IEEC), Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Catalunya, E-08034 Barcelona, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Global Wind Energy Council (2016).
