Introduction
Our final objective is to retrieve the characteristics of a random medium from sparse observations.
The retrieval is done locally, that is, in the vicinity of the observations.
The retrieval technique we have developed has already been applied successfully to in-situ measurements of wind and temperature performed at fixed locations.
We present here the extension of our method to Doppler lidar data for the retrieval of TKE and EDR at a fine temporal resolution.

are a random path and a random field
is the acquisition process of the random field along the path
is the conditional expectation according to the trajectory.

Theoretical Background
Christophe.Baehr@meteo.fr
The probability laws of the random medium considered along a random path:
There is a time evolution that required a local model of the probed medium. Here this evolution is given by the Markovian kernel
Theoretical Background
Christophe.Baehr@meteo.fr
The algorithm in term of state vectors is given by :
It is equivalent to the evolution in probability laws :
and solve the stochastic dynamical system :
The Stochastic Lagrangian Model
Christophe.Baehr@meteo.fr
The local Markovian evolution needs a physical model.We have choose to use a Stochastic Lagrangian Model (SLM).
The model adapted to wind vertical profiles is excerpt from the 3D SLM we use for the atmospheric measurements :
The term is embedded in a truncated normal distribution
learned by our algorithm.

Comparisons with other Numerical products
Comparison with a Meso-NH simulation (for an other day and an other location) to compare the shape of the structures (above : wind, bottom TKE), especially for the TKE.

How it is possible to assess the quality of TKE and EDR estimates ?
Comparisons with other Numerical products
Christophe.Baehr@meteo.fr
On June 19th, 2011 from 13h26 to 14h49 UTC, the tethered balloon flew at 60m and we compare its data with the lidar range bin 75-125m:
- Balloon wind variance ~ 0.39 m2s−2.
- lidar filtered signal variance ~ 0.42 m2s−2.
- lidar averaged TKE ~ 0.25 m2s−2.
We are waiting for other lidar data to compare with other, more representative balloon flights.
Next steps
Christophe.Baehr@meteo.fr
Continue the work on the 3D estimations using hemispherical scanning lidars.
Work on the lidar observation operator. Full set of numerical comparisons. MesoNH comparisons with specific BLLAST simulations
Merge the estimation of Doppler lidar and Aerosol lidar to estimate the parameters of a full 3D atmospheric domain.
