Sodar

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 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 on a tower platform in Pamlico Sound in fall 2008.
