Lidar technology, called WINDCUBE®, can detect lower atmospheric wind transport conditions and industrial aerosol plumes.

Lidar technology, called WINDCUBE®, can detect lower atmospheric wind transport conditions and industrial aerosol plumes simultaneously and in real-time, enabling the identification of the source, location, distance, altitude, and dispersion rates of potentially hazardous industrial emissions with a precision that was previously unachievable.

 

Whether it is used for improving the management of mineral dust transport generated by mining activities, or informing air pollution management strategies in large urban environments, WINDCUBE® is set to play a significant role in helping all organizations with an interest in detecting and quantifying airborne industrial aerosols to make intelligent decisions in the face of atmospheric uncertainty.

Features:

  • remote sensing capabilities that range from 100m to 3km, 6km, or 10km
  • multiple scanning pattern choices
  • high resolution wind data
  • aerosol structure capability
