1. A method for determining a cross-stream component of wind velocity near a target location, comprising:

  • conducting a modal-decomposition of a first series of images to obtain a plurality of contribution functions representing the first series of images;

    mapping a second series of images onto a selected subset of the plurality of contribution functions to create a set of reconstructed images; and

    measuring at least one characteristic of the set of reconstructed images to estimate the cross-stream component of the wind velocity near the target location.
