Popis: This study examines how motion influences turbulent velocity fluctuations utilizing measurements obtained from a wind lidar profiler. Onshore tests were performed using a WindCube v2.1 lidar, which was mobile and mounted on a hexapod to simulate buoy motion. Additionally, a fixed WindCube v2.1 lidar was used as a reference during these tests. To assess the motion-induced effects on velocity fluctuations measured by floating lidar systems, the root-mean-square error (RMSE) of velocity fluctuations obtained from the fixed and mobile lidars was calculated. A comprehensive wind dataset spanning 22.5 h was analyzed, with a focus on regular motions involving single-axis rotations and combinations of rotations around multiple axes. The investigation of single-axis rotations revealed that the primary influencing factor on the results was the alignment between the tilt direction of the mobile lidar and the wind direction. The highest RMSE values occurred when the tilt of the mobile lidar leans in the wind direction, resulting in pitch motion, whereas the lowest RMSE values were observed when the tilt of the mobile lidar leans perpendicular to the wind direction, resulting in roll motion. Moreover, the addition of motion around extra axes of rotation was found to increase RMSE.
