We study this phenomenon by simulating the lidar measurements within synthetic fields of atmospheric turbulence. We use the simulations\u2019 framework to assess the impact of buoy motions on turbulence estimation. Simulation results show that the buoy\u2019s translational motions impact turbulence estimates the most. We also apply the simulation framework to analyze measurements from a floating lidar measuring nearby an offshore meteorological mast for a period of six months. The analysis of measurements is presented both without and with motion compensation. In general, we find from both simulations and measurements that the buoy motions do not impact the mean horizontal wind speed significantly, in agreement with previous studies. However, both simulations and measurements show that the standard deviation of the horizontal velocity is overestimated by the floating lidar. When we correct the measurements based on compensation factors derived from the simulations, the mean bias of the horizontal wind speed standard deviation changes from 18\u201319% to 5\u201321%, with large reductions at the first four heights closest to the surface and a slight increase at the highest vertical level.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14236065","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,30]],"date-time":"2022-11-30T07:10:27Z","timestamp":1669792227000},"page":"6065","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["A Motion-Correction Method for Turbulence Estimates from Floating Lidars"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7900-9651","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alfredo","family":"Pe\u00f1a","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"DTU Wind and Energy Systems, Technical University of Denmark, 4000 Roskilde, Denmark"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6096-611X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jakob","family":"Mann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DTU Wind and Energy Systems, Technical University of Denmark, 4000 Roskilde, Denmark"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9627-422X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nikolas","family":"Angelou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DTU Wind and Energy Systems, Technical University of Denmark, 4000 Roskilde, Denmark"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6981-684X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arnhild","family":"Jacobsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"RLC OWS OC, Equinor ASA, 5020 Bergen, Norway"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e250","DOI":"10.1002\/wene.250","article-title":"Floating lidar as an advanced offshore wind speed measurement technique: Current technology status and gap analysis in regard to full maturity","volume":"6","author":"Gottschall","year":"2017","journal-title":"WIREs Energy Environ."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"156","DOI":"10.1016\/j.egypro.2014.07.224","article-title":"Results and Conclusions of a Floating-lidar Offshore Test","volume":"53","author":"Gottschall","year":"2014","journal-title":"Energy Procedia"},{"key":"ref_3","first-page":"145","article-title":"Measurement of wind profile with a buoy mounted lidar","volume":"12","author":"Mathisen","year":"2013","journal-title":"Energy Procedia"},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5323","DOI":"10.5194\/amt-15-5323-2022","article-title":"Quantification of Motion-Induced Measurement Error on Floating Lidar Systems","volume":"15","author":"Kelberlau","year":"2022","journal-title":"Atmos.
