Validating a simulation environment for floating lidar systems

Assessing the uncertainty of floating lidar systems for different wind and wave climates is a difficult task. One possible solution to close this gap is a validated simulation environment for floating lidar systems. An approach for such a simulation environment is being developed within the German r...

Summary:Assessing the uncertainty of floating lidar systems for different wind and wave climates is a difficult task. One possible solution to close this gap is a validated simulation environment for floating lidar systems. An approach for such a simulation environment is being developed within the German research project MALIBU and will be presented. This paper gives an overview about the simulation model which is being developed and shows ideas and first results regarding the validation aspects for the moving lidar environment. Furthermore an outlook for further steps regarding the validation of the complete simulation model for a floating lidar system (FLS) is being given.
