Description:This detailed feasibility study for a satellite-borne pulsed coherent C0? lidar at 800 km altitude for global wind monitoring shows that a tropospheric wind measurement error of < 1 m s’1 for typical operational parameters and of < 2 m s 1 for worst case models is possible. The required power, pointing precision, weight, data handling, and communication are within the capacity of the Space Shuttle or state-of-the-art add-on units. Lack of sufficient global aerosol data was identified as the principle unknown in the analysis.
