Abstract
The laser Doppler anemometer (LDA) is an active measuring system for indirect determination of wind characteristics. It can be used to measure wind profiles within a short time. In November 1984, the system was flown to a research platform in the North Sea to investigate the possibilities of the LDA in the field of air-sea interaction. It was shown that the LDA is capable of simultaneous detection of the interaction between wind and water.
