The paper considers the problem of recovering the horizontal wind speed from lidar scanning data, which provide measurements of the radial component. An approach is proposed in which the wind speed components are calculated not at a single point, but at a given set of nodes located along a given direction. The proposed algorithm uses the idea of coordinate-wise calculation of vector components. Each component is calculated by the spline approximation of a specially selected subset of measurements. The results of numerical calculations are presented.
