  • Patent number: 10816668
    Abstract: Analysis device 3 is provided with a data acquisition unit 22 for acquiring reflected light data for a laser light reflected by an atmospheric aerosol, and a control unit 21 for analyzing a Doppler shift of the reflected light data. The control unit 21 is provided with a result smoothing unit 43 for excluding a peak portion 51 in the reflected light originating from an obstacle. Further, a peak portion 51 originating from an obstacle is determined to be a peak portion originating from an obstacle when there is a steep slope of a predetermined amount or more in reception intensity within a frequency of a predetermined extent from a transmission frequency of the laser light. The Doppler shift is thus analyzed with a high degree of accuracy.

  • Patent number: 10288769
    Abstract: Provided is a weather forecasting system for predicting a weather phenomenon in a prediction target region. The weather forecasting system includes a storage unit and a first calculation unit. The storage unit stores wind-condition information and measured weather information. The wind-condition information is information obtained from an air observation system using Doppler LIDAR. The first calculation unit generates predicted weather information including presence of a local downpour, based on information related to wind convergence included in the wind-condition information and information related to instability of air included in the measured weather information.
