Using SoDAR for Air Quality & Dispersion Modelling

Accurate vertical wind profiling from 40m to 200m to support ADMS and AERMOD modelling.

SoDAR (Sonic Detection and Ranging) provides accurate wind speed and direction data from your operational location up to a height of 200mWhile Met Office data provides a general overview, it often fails to capture the micro-climate variations and vertical profiles essential for accurate plume dispersion modelling. Our SoDAR equipment provides real-time, site-specific data that reflects the actual conditions at stack height

  • Real-Time Precision: Accurate wind speed and direction data 
  • Detailed Vertical Profiles: Capture wind shear to identify inversion layers and mixing heights.
  • Rapid & Mobile Deployment: Easy to relocate and install without the need for fixed met masts or planning permits.
  • Independent Operations: Standalone power supply and robust, weatherproof design for remote site monitoring.
  • Flexible Access: Available on a month-by-month rental basis to suit specific project timelines

Comprehensive Data Integration

The online dashboard provides all the data you need, including wind speed, direction, shear (the speed at different heights), air temperature and pressure, and precipitation.
