Research on wind field characteristics measured in inland city by Lidar

In order to study the wind characteristics in inland cities, a Wind3D 6000 Lidar which has many advantages in measuring wind parameters was placed on a campus in Xi’an city. Then, through filtering the original measurement data, the wind speed, wind direction, wind attack angle and turbulence intensity were analyzed using the data of nearly four months ranging from 64m to 610m. It is found that during the field measurement period, there is a linear correlation and Lorentz density function distribution between wind speed and height, but the power index law is not obvious. The wind direction changes obviously with the time and season but less along the height. The probability density of wind attack angle presents Gauss distribution, with an average value of about 1.35°, which is negatively linear correlated with height and wind speed. The probability density of turbulence shows the distribution characteristic of LogNormal density function, which increases first and then decreases with the height, and has a positive linear correlation with the wind attack angle.
