What is Lidar Observations of Turbulent Vortex Shedding by an Isolated Topographic Feature about?

Scanning measurements by a single wavelength lidar (1.06 ,um) were made downwind of the Pt. Sur rock, an isolated hill (height 1 IO m) along the California coast. Turbulent eddies (approximate diameter 50 m) were observed detaching from a stationary aerosol feature above the rock and moving downwind. Under conditions with a high Froude number [I .8], the Strouhal number [0.22] of vortex shedding was close to that observed in tank experiments with a Reynolds number of 200.
