SODAR

WiSE has six SCINTEC flat panel array units that we are installing across West Texas. The first unit is complete at Hereford, and we will eventually have one installed at the Reese research facilities late in 2012. The SODARs are running 10-minute scans at 10-m bin spacing. The first bin is at 30 meters above ground level (AGL) with wind speed and direction date available up to a maximum height of 380 meters AGL.
