Study: SODAR calibration for wind energy applications Location: Denmark
|
SODARs (SOund Detection
And Ranging) can be used as an alternative to met masts for wind energy applications and
the following report is concerned with the calibration of SODARS for wind energy use.

Project: "BBC2" intensive (cloud) measurement campaign
Location: Cabauw, the
Netherlands |
| The objectives of the BBC2-campaign (BALTEX
BRIDGE Campaign) are to gain a better understanding of cloud processes. The BBC2 campaign
was jointly organised by the University of Bonn and KNMI.
A Metek SODAR/RASS system together with four Metek Micro
Rain Radars were among the instruments used.

Project: VTMX (Vertical Transport and MiXing) program Location: Field campaign in Salt Lake
Valley, USA |
| VTMX is concerned with vertical
transport and mixing in the boundary layer mainly around urban basins and valleys. Several
groups participated in this campaign including NCAR who deployed a Metek SODAR.

Project: Turbulence and vertical transport in the lower Ekman-layer
from SODAR measurementsLocation:
Germany
|
A Metek SODAR was used for nearly 2
years to study wind profiles, turbulence and dispersion conditions in the lower
Ekman-layer.

Project: Validation Data for Small-scale Numerical and Physical
Models of a City QuarterLocation:
Germany
|
A Metek SODAR was used for long-term
sodar measurements of a street canyon to get statistical data on the onflow conditions to
the street canyon.
