Short summary
This study tested a two-lidar system to measure wind variations more accurately than traditional single-lidar methods. By comparing 30 days of measurements with a reference instrument, we found that the new approach better captures turbulence and reduces errors in both along- and cross-wind directions. The results show that it can provide more reliable ground-based wind measurements, supporting improved weather monitoring and wind energy assessments.
