Coherent Doppler Wind Lidar Calibration with Flywheel and Inclinometer

Synchronized raw measurements from a coherent Doppler wind lidar, a reference flywheel, and an inclinometer used for calibration. The dataset includes multiple calibration runs performed at different reference speeds and laser focus settings. It was created by Anders Tegtmeier Pedersen of the Technical University of Denmark.

Use Cases

• Calibrating wind lidar systems based on synchronized flywheel reference speeds.
• Analyzing sensor performance under different laser focus settings.
• Developing or validating sensor fusion algorithms based on combined lidar, flywheel, and inclinometer data.
• Benchmarking data analysis methods for time-series instrument calibration.

Strengths

• Includes synchronized data from three distinct instruments (lidar, flywheel, inclinometer).
• Contains multiple calibration runs performed under varied conditions (different speeds and focus settings).
• Matlab scripts for data analysis are referenced, suggesting reproducible workflows.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
