Atmospheric Acoustic Remote Sensing

Atmospheric Acoustic Remote Sensing offers a straightforward guide to using SODARs to perform wind measurements and data analysis for scientific, environmental, or alternative monitoring applications. This authoritative work systematically explains the underlying science, principles, and operational aspects of acoustic radars. Abundant diagrams and figures, including 8 pages of full-color images, enhance clear guidelines and tools for handling calibration, error, equipment, hardware, sampling, and data analysis. The final chapter explores applications in environmental research, boundary layer research, wind power and loading, complex terrain, and sound speed profiles.
