Abstract :
The Lidar group in the Technical University of Catalonia is actively working in wind lidar techniques. An extensive review of such techniques is presented. A special emphasis is made on the direct Doppler technique and the direct motion technique with a lines-of-sight scanning pattern. Current developments are also mentioned.
