Development of a floating lidar system

The main objective of this project was the development of a floating platform or buoy for meteorological and oceanographic measurements on the sea. For the measurements of the wind field, a lidar device should be used. Other objectives in this project included the development of methods to compensate motion effects of such a floating platform related to the measurement of the wind field as well as the preparation of the collected data for future users in the field of wind energy. Furthermore, methods should be developed which, based on measurements of this buoy, allow a more accurate prediction of wind and wave conditions.
