Sodar

NCCOOS operates the first Sodar installation on a coastal boundary anywhere in the world. The Sodar is a Doppler acoustic vertical wind profiler, measuring wind speed and direction at 20 meter increments of elevation up to one kilometer in altitude. The Sodar analyzes acoustic reflections beamed from an "antenna" containing an array of 52 sonic transducers. Currently, the Sodar runs in a break-in/fine-tuning mode on Bogue Sound at the UNC-CH Institute of Marine Sciences in Morehead City. The North Carolina Environmental Observation Network System (NC-EONS) will deploy the Sodar permanently on a tower platform now under construction in Pamlico Sound.
