Which outcome results when coherence drops in LIDAR wind measurement?

A)Increased range measurement uncertainty
B)Improved atmospheric turbulence mapping
C)Enhanced signal penetration through fog
D)Reduced receiver processing requirements

💡 Explanation

Increasing atmospheric turbulence affects spatial coherence, causing phase fluctuations. The LIDAR accuracy degrades due to deconstructive interference because Doppler shift detection is less precise; therefore range uncertainty increases, rather than better turbulence mapping, since the beam loses collimation and spatial resolution.
