Table 4. Means and standard deviations of the horizontal and vertical winds. The horizontal
wind is the wind in the direction of the axis joining the two lidars. The heights of the data are
determined by the crossing points of the two lidar beams as shown in the configuration of
Figure 2c. The lidar data were taken from 1134-1224 UTC 23 July 2003 (from Collier et al. (2005)
