Sodar or Tower Data Analysis:

Data summary reports can be provided on a quarterly or monthly basis.

Anemometry Specialists’ standard data summaries include:

     • Site description including tower location and configuration information
     • Comparison with wind data from a nearby reference station
     • Data recovery rates by date, time, wind speed, and wind direction
     • Description of invalidated data
     • Data distributions by date, time, wind speed, and wind direction
     • Mean and maximum wind speeds at all measurement heights by
        date, time, and direction
     • Mean hourly temperature data
     • Wind speed probability plot with associated Weibull Distribution
     • Monthly and cumulative wind roses for all measurement heights
     • Wind direction frequency distribution
     • Weibull distribution parameters for all measurement heights and
        directions
     • Probability and cumulative density functions of wind speed
     • Mean wind shear values according to time, speed, and direction
     • Correlations of wind speeds at all measurement heights
     • Wind power density by measurement height, date, and time
     • Turbulence intensity for all measurement heights and directions

An annual sodar or tower summary will include:

     • A long-term dataset created by correlating all validated site data with
        a nearby reference station
     • Adjustments are made to correct the wind data at the site to the
        long-term reference data, resulting in a synthesized long-term
        dataset for the site
     • More detailed analysis of the parameters in a standard summary to
        determine seasonal variability

A comparison of simultaneous sodar and tower measurements will include the following at all tower measurement heights:

     • Correlations of wind speeds
     • Wind direction frequency comparison
     • Wind shear value comparison

Custom data analysis products can be created to suit clients’ needs such as:

     • Real-time data displays
