METEK at the AMS Symposium on Boundary Layers and Turbulence in Torino

The 25th AMS Symposium on Boundary Layers and Turbulence was organised by the AMS Boundary Layers and Turbulence Committee and hosted by the American Meteorological Society. Scientists specialising in the dynamics of the atmospheric boundary layer that spans the first 200 to 2000 m above the Earth’s surface meet at the Symposium on Boundary Layers and Turbulence, one of the most important international meeting in this field.

As a sponsor, exhibitor and speakers, we from METEK participated in the AMS Symposium. We showcased innovations in meteorological measurement devices, including the Multi-Path 3D ultrasonic wind sensor, the uSonic-3 MP, and multiple Doppler lidar wind profilers. During our first presentation, we demonstrated how wind profiles in the atmospheric boundary layer can becaptured with high precision by combining a pulsed Doppler lidar with a continuous-wave Doppler lidar. Since each system has its strengths at different altitudes, using both together enables a detailed analysis of airflows from near the ground to the upper boundary layer. In our second talk, we presented the Multi-Path technology and explained how it improves the detection of the vertical wind component, as well as reducing shadowing and flow distortion effects.
