Lidar Wind Sensor Wind Scout

The Metek Wind Scout is a compact, cost efficient and easy to use lidar wind sensor. It derives 3D wind vectors from continuous VAD scans (± 10 °) at a rotational speed of 1 rev./s for a designated measuring volume determined by the adjusted focal distance. The frequency modulation provides an unambiguous determination of the radial wind and a wide wind measuring range. It further prevents any bias in case of strong variations of back scattering along the line-of-sight observation which are typically caused by clouds.
