The verification of the Doppler lidar wind measurement is continued. The in situ measurements on a 500 meter tall tower are used to check the lidar determined winds (flight 4), followed by other tests applied to the extensive data sets of flights 19 and 21. After checking for possible software errors in the processing programs, the inconsistency was not solved. The source of the errors appears to be the uncertainty in the calculation of the contribution of the aircraft motion to the lidar measured line of sight speed. Possible techniques for estimating the aircraft motion errors from the aircraft data are investigated.
