This paper deals with lidar systems applied to airflow measurements. The properties
of the two main light scattering processes, Rayleigh and Mie scattering, are presented
and correlated to general but important rules for lidar design. The Rayleigh lidar
developed at Onera for short-range wind speed measurements is also presented, and
the Doppler analysis technique using Michelson fringe imagery is briefly discussed.
