Short summary
Wind lidars present advantages over meteorological masts, including simultaneous multipoint observations, flexibility in measuring geometry, and reduced installation cost. But wind lidars come with the cost of increased complexity in terms of data quality and analysis. The common carrier-to-noise ratio and median filters are compared to the DBSCAN clustering algorithm to find improved data quality and recovery rate.
