Wind lidars today are often replacing tall meteorological masts. The qualityof the individual wind-lidar observations is described by the so-called Carrier to Noise Ratio (CNR).One year of marine wind observations are compared to WRF simulations up to an altitude of 600 m. thecomparison was carried out for threshold values CNR > -22 dB and -35 dB respectively. In both cases it was foundthat up to 100 m there was generally good agreement between the WRF predictions and the observations. Above100 the WRF simulated wind speeds were smaller than the observations and in such a way that the differenceincreases with increasing wind speed – represented by the 25, 50 and 75% quantiles.It is demonstrated that by filtering the wind-lidar observations with a CNR threshold value has consequences forthe measured long-term wind speed. Use of wind measurements with a low values of the CNR (e. g. -22 dB) leadsto an over-prediction of the wind speed as compared to filtering the data with a CNR = -35 dB. The effect is seenfor all wind speed represented in this study by their 25, 50 and 75% quantiles.In conclusion:It is important to consider the CNR effect on mean wind speed when using a wind-lidar for climatological studiesIn an example of marine climatology from FINO3, WRF underpredicts the 25%, 50% and 75% per centile of thewind speed profile up to 600 m applying filtering with CNR > -22 dB on the wind lidar measurements.
