Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology is widely used in atmospheric research for measuring various atmospheric parameters. Wind measurement using LiDAR data has traditionally relied on the spectral centroid (SC) algorithm. However, this approach has limitations in handling LiDAR data, particularly in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regions. To overcome these limitations, this study leverages the capabilities of customized deep-learning techniques to achieve accurate wind profile reconstruction. The study uses datasets obtained from the European Centre for Medium Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) Reanalysis v5 (ERA5) and the mobile Incoherent Doppler LiDAR (ICDL) system constructed by the University of Science and Technology of China. We present a simulation-based approach for generating wind profiles from the statistical data and the associated theoretical calculations. Whereafter, our team constructed a convolutional neural network (CNN) model based on the U-Net architecture to replace the SC algorithm for LiDAR data post-processing. The CNN-generated results are evaluated and compared with the SC results and the ERA5 data. This study highlights the potential of deep learning-based techniques in atmospheric research and their ability to provide more accurate and reliable results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16081473","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,22]],"date-time":"2024-04-22T06:10:18Z","timestamp":1713766218000},"page":"1473","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Wind Profile Reconstruction Based on Convolutional Neural Network for Incoherent Doppler Wind LiDAR"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Jiawei","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3120-735X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chong","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hefei National Laboratory, Hefei 230088, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0739-7795","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuli","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}]},{"given":"Tingdi","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"},{"name":"Hefei National Laboratory, Hefei 230088, China"}]},{"given":"Xianghui","family":"Xue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"},{"name":"Hefei National Laboratory, Hefei 230088, China"}]},{"given":"Hengjia","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}]},{"given":"Shuhua","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1260-5309","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jing","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}]},{"given":"Dongsong","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"},{"name":"Hefei National Laboratory, Hefei 230088, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1097","article-title":"Imagenet classification with deep convolutional neural networks","volume":"60","author":"Krizhevsky","year":"2012","journal-title":"Adv.
