Short summary
Turbulence measurements are important to boundary layer meteorology and related fields. Doppler lidars are capable of providing continuous profiles of turbulence statistics. Herein, the most direct turbulence measurement, vertical velocity variance, is validated with those from sonic anemometers. Spectra are also compared. A method of calculating velocity variance using the autocovariance is shown to improve the accuracy of the measurement by mitigating effects of noise and averaging.
