GroundWinds NH Operations
• Operates weekly (weather permitting)• ~80 days of measurements since June 2003• Operating staff reduced for efficiency and an
increased focus on BalloonWinds• Utilized as test bed for GroundWinds Hawaii
and BalloonWinds • Participated in an inter-comparison campaign

Proprietary
October 2003 CampaignObjective
• Inter-comparison campaign with Mini-MOPA: October 24th-31st
• Over 40 hours of coincident data• Objective of the campaign was to
address instrument– precision– accuracy– sensitivity
• Data in early stages of analysis

Proprietary
October 2003 CampaignPrecision Investigation
• Instrument variations– Principle component analysis
• Atmospheric variations– Velocity spectra– Time series cross-correlation
• Statistical variations– Cramer-Rao lower bound with instrument
characteristics and line shape• Total variation
– RSS of instrument, atmospheric, and statistical variations
– Variance of LOSH velocity time series

Proprietary
October 2003 CampaignAccuracy Investigation
• Accuracy to be characterized by an inter-comparison with coincident LOSH measurements made by Mini-MOPA

Scattering Models
• The aerosol scattering model, which includes the Mie component, is approximated by the unbroadened laser measurement
• The molecular scattering model, which includes the Rayleigh and Brillouin components, is approximated by the Tenti model. An improved model is currently being developed at UNH.
