Remote atmospheric sensors – Radar wind, thermodynamic (radiometer), and Sodar – provide invaluable real-time upper air information. Total Profiler Solutions from Radiometrics augment weather balloon soundings for data to feed into “data-hungry” weather models, dramatically improve local nowcasting, air quality and fog predictions, and enhance utility load forecasting and wind farm management.
Radiometrics’ Single-Channel PR-Series radiometers are also useful for non-weather related applications, such as sensing characteristics of snow pack, vegetation, soil moisture, and chemical plumes.
The following is a small sample of weather challenges our wind and thermodynamic profilers address:
