The use of a laser operating in mode locking regime may improve the spatial distribution of a monostatic doppler lidar for measuring wind velocity. It is determined in this case by the duration of picosecond pulses and may be several centimeters at a distance of approximately 100 m. A laboratory mock-up of the lidar was used to perform speed measurements, to determine the correlation function of a field, and to calculate the power of a doppler signal received from a unit of length the route.
