MeteoLaser LiDAR: Mobile measurement for a wide range of applications :
MeteoLaser LiDAR, also known as a Light Detection and Ranging system, is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances to a target. It is commonly used in meteorology to measure the wind profile in the atmosphere up to several kilometers in height.
The MeteoLaser LiDAR system emits a laser beam into the atmosphere and measures the time it takes for the light to travel to the target and back. By measuring the time delay and the wavelength of the laser light, the system can calculate the distance to the target. The system can also measure the wind velocity by analyzing the Doppler shift of the laser light reflected back from the target.
One of the advantages of MeteoLaser LiDAR is that it can measure the wind profile in the atmosphere with high vertical resolution and accuracy. It can also measure the wind in regions where traditional wind measurement techniques, such as cup anemometers, cannot reach, such as in the boundary layer or in the presence of obstacles.
MeteoLaser LiDAR systems can be classified into two types: pulsed and continuous wave. Pulsed systems emit short bursts of laser light, while continuous wave systems emit a continuous beam of laser light. Pulsed systems are typically used for wind profiling, while continuous wave systems are used for measuring aerosol properties and cloud height.
The MeteoLaser LiDAR system is used in a variety of applications, such as weather forecasting, air quality monitoring, and renewable energy assessments. In weather forecasting, it can be used to measure wind profile and temperature in the atmosphere to improve the accuracy of weather models. In air quality monitoring, it can be used to measure the concentration of particulate matter in the atmosphere. And in renewable energy assessments, it can be used to measure the wind profile at different heights to determine the potential for wind power generation.
Overall, MeteoLaser LiDAR is a powerful remote sensing technology that can provide valuable information about the wind profile in the atmosphere, which can be used for a wide range of applications. It offers a high level of accuracy, precision and vertical resolution, providing a unique tool for meteorology and atmospheric research.
The MeteoLaser pulsed doppler LiDAR accurately measures horizontal and vertical wind speeds and directions up to 300 meters. It measures pressure, temperature and humidity through the PTH sensor module.
The MeteoLaser LiDAR can be used
• in wind resource assessment,
• in micro-siting of wind farms,
• power performance of wind turbine,
• wind park monitoring,
• offshore wind measurement systems and other places where mobile wind measurements are required.
