Prototyping a new RADAR technique for reliable, real-time, 3D wind and wake or turbulence data in challenging places

Asessing wind resources in complex terrain Reference measurements on land Reference measurements at sea "Green light" turbulence data


We are building a more reliable remote sensor, based on RADAR (microwaves). 

Produces: 2D/3D wind and turbulence data.

Speciality: complex terrain and difficult-to-reach places.

Wind power applications: WRA, power curve verification, wind array performance, dynamic control.

Wind power benefits: better evaluation, more liquidity, reduced OPEX.

Air transport applications: Wake vortex detection and tracking, helideck landing and take-off safety.

Air transport benefits: tighter and safer stacking (and associated fuel & environment savings), better helicopter utilisation and safety.

  • Products for land-based and offshore wind industry coming in 2013-14. Air transport products on the drawing-board.

Background: 20 years of scientific research on the propagation and scattering of microwaves in turbulent air has resulted in a direct measurement technique that

  • does not rely on interpolating results from a set of measured boundary conditions, and that
  • bypasses assumptions that cause the other methods to become more unreliable with increasing height or increasingly complex terrain.


Our prototypes are portable, robust and require very little electrical power. We can measure complex wind and turbulence up to 350m in 3D.
