1. A method for measuring wind velocity, the method comprising:

  • collecting volumetric aerosol density distribution data from at least two lidar scan volumes at separate time intervals, wherein the lidar scan volumes are within an atmospheric volume of interest, and wherein each lidar scan volume is three-dimensional so as to extend in an axial direction and in two mutually orthogonal transverse directions relative to individual lidar scan pulses;

    analyzing the data so as to obtain a set of intermediate values; and

    calculating at least one wind vector from the set of intermediate values.
