Web Changes

This is where we'll announce the most recent additions to our web site. If you've visited us before and want to know what's changed, take a look here first.  We'll be updating this web site with additional information soon!

6 April 2006

        Model VT-1 options now include a digital compass / tilt sensor.  This is useful for floating platform applications and on land, too.  Measurements of heading, pitch and roll are digitized and included in the sodar data record.  The sodar software has been enhanced to monitor the variations of heading, pitch and roll and exclude wind data during pulses when the system was not level or steady.

28 February 2004

        Model VT-1 Specifications revised to reflect new lower power draw (only 40 watts)!

26 September 2003

        Added Photo Album showing various installations of Model VT-1.

20 September 2003

        Added page discussing vector and scalar averaging of wind data and some of the implications for sodar.

        Added page showing enclosed trailer mounted system with retractable roof, onboard solar power system, telescoping 10-m tower, anemometer and wind turbine.

2 August 2003

        Added page discussing the Correction of Sodar Tilted Beam Measurements for Vertical Speed.

8 February 2003

        If you submitted a request for information via our website between mid-December and early February 2003 and did not receive a response, please submit your request again.  We experienced a website malfunction during that time and some of our email was not properly delivered to us.
