Observation of the vertical profiles of wind velocity by two doppler lidars above city center in coastal city sendai, japan (part 1): Influence of characteristics of inland wind and sea breeze above the city on air temperature and humidity near the ground

To examine the relationships between sea breeze and air temperature near the ground in summer, a concurrent measurement of wind velocities using two Doppler lidars and the air temperature and humidity at multiple observation points was conducted in Sendai, a coastal city of Japan. The results were classified into days with wind from inland and sea breeze. A time series of the vertical distributions of wind direction, speed and the vertical component of wind velocity vector were compared with a time series of air temperature and humidity for each day. Furthermore, power spectrum of vertical fluctuations of wind was analyzed.
