Abstract: Doppler lidar plays an important role in the wind field observation in clear sky weather due to its high measurement accuracy and high spatial-temporal resolutions. This paper reviews the research status and application of the laser wind measurement radar technology at home and abroad. Based on the analyses of current problems of the laser wind measurement radar, directions for further research are proposed. This paper also analyzes and summarizes the application of laser wind measurement radar in wind fields and the integration of meso-scale radar measurements and CFD simulations. Especial attention is paid on a multi-scale analysis of wind fields in a coastal area. The results show that the laser wind measurement radar can enhance the capability of wind field data acquisition. To acquire more accurate wind field information, a comprehensive study of the radar measurements and numerical simulations is preferable. Finally, prospects for the technical parameters of laser wind measurement radars are put forward.
