Atmospheric Systems Corporation (ASC) announced today that it has entered into a research collaboration with Wind Measurement Technologies (WMT), a division of Auckland UniServices Limited (UniServices) for the development and commercialization of a common volume Bi-static Doppler SoDAR system to be used primarily in the wind industry as a remote sensor for wind assessment.
The partnership between ASC and WMT will focus on developing a Sonic Detection and Ranging (SoDAR) system that will provide superior capabilities to existing remote sensing devices presently available to developers, engineers and meteorologist in the wind industry. The new system will obtain its wind information from volumes within a single atmospheric column. A key design strategy is that current ASC SoDARs will have the capability of being upgraded to this system. According to Dr. Underwood, “Our goal is to revolutionize and improve remote sensing without making existing ASC units obsolete.” Read More
