A bistatic sodar for precision wind profiling in complex terrain (2013)
Journal Article
Bradley, S., von Hünerbein, S., & Mikkelsen, T. (2013). A bistatic sodar for precision wind profiling in complex terrain. Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 29(8), 1052-1061. https://doi.org/10.1175/JTECH-D-11-00035.1

A new ground-based wind profiling technology—a scanned bistatic sodar—is described. The motivation for this design is to obtain a “mastlike” wind vector profile in a single atmospheric column extending from the ground to heights of more than 200 m. T...

Beam geometry calibration of SODARs without use of a mast (2013)
Journal Article
Bradley, S., & von Hünerbein, S. (2013). Beam geometry calibration of SODARs without use of a mast. Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 30(9), 1-23. https://doi.org/10.1175/JTECH-D-12-00112.1

A new method for calibration of SODAR wind speed measurements is described. The method makes no assumptions whatsoever about the SODAR operation and its hardware and software, other than the assumption that only one beam is transmitted at a time. Reg...
