Engineers used to rely on meteorological towers to measure wind speed. But “met towers” only give you data for one location; they don’t tell you anything about wind velocities around a valley or along ...

It has been used to detect air patterns at airports and turbulence on planes, adopted by cartographers and used to develop ranging applications and has been used to detect atmospheric pollutants. It ...

The profitability of a wind farm depends directly upon reducing uncertainty when wind resources are being assessed and when wind turbines are being fine-tuned. Project risks vary from site to site, ...

Norway's new 1100km coastal Euro-highway will rely on understanding wind behavior using new lidar-based measurement method. Artists impression of the proposed flloating bridge across the Bjørnafjord.

A new system represents the first time that the capabilities of conventional beam-scanning lidar systems have been combined with those of a newer 3D approach known as flash lidar. The nonmechanical 3D ...

WASHINGTON — Our roads might one day be safer thanks to a completely new type of system that overcomes some of lidar’s limitations. Lidar, which uses pulsed lasers to map objects and scenes, helps ...
