The Tropical Cyclone Structure, 2008 (TCS-08) experiment was conducted
during August-September, 2008 in the Western North Pacific. As part of
the project, a 2-micron coherent Doppler wind lidar (DWL) with a
2-axis scanner was operated on the Navy P-3 aircraft. The primary
research goal of the DWL was to obtain high resolution vertical wind
profiles surrounding incipient tropical storms. We present preliminary
results and analyses.
