    Abstract

    A double mode data acquisition (DMDAQ) system is developed for Doppler wind Lidar (DWL) in the upper atmosphere (15~60 km). The technical indicators of the system reach international advanced level. The DMDAQ system not only satisfies the requirements of upper atmospheric DWL with the properties of wide linear dynamic detection range and excellent spatial and temporal resolution, but also conveniently to update and incorporate in the miniaturization mobile DWL system due to its high integration and reconfigurable characteristics. In order to evaluate the performance of the DMDAQ system, the wind field observation contrast experiment is carried out. The result reveals that the Lidar observation agrees well with the radiosonde balloon in the height range of overlapping data (15~35 km). Besides, the accuracy of wind velocity is 6 m/s in the 60 km detection height according to the simultaneous DWL echo signal.
