Sound speed profile structure and variability measured over flat terrain (2006)
Presentation / Conference
Waddington, D., von Hünerbein, S., & Bradley, S. (2006, July). Sound speed profile structure and variability measured over flat terrain. Presented at 13th International Conference on Sound and Vibration, Vienna, Austria

This paper describes a fundamental data base and data-variability guide for outdoor sound propagation models requiring sound speed profiles. The vertical sound speed profile has been measured directly over an extended period at a flat terrain site an...

Calibration of SODARs for wind energy applications (2006)
Presentation / Conference
von Hünerbein, S., Antoniou, I., Jorgensen, H., Kindler, D., & Bradley, S. (2006, July). Calibration of SODARs for wind energy applications. Presented at International Symposium for the Advancement of Boundary Layer Remote Sensing, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany

Traditionally SODAR wind profilers have been assumed to be largely self-calibrated, with measurement errors mostly random. However, increasing demand for accuracy in applications such as wind energy demand robust calibration and intercomparison proce... Read More about Calibration of SODARs for wind energy applications.

SODAR measurements of wind vortex strength and position (2006)
Presentation / Conference
Bradley, S., Mursch-Radlgruber, E., & von Hünerbein, S. (2006, July). SODAR measurements of wind vortex strength and position. Presented at International Symposium for the Advancement of Boundary Layer Remote Sensing, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany

A method is described for real-time visualisation of aircraft wing-tip vortices based on measurement data from a line array of SODARs. Every 2 s a ‘snapshot’ is taken of the atmospheric vertical velocity field above the SODARs. This provides a grid... Read More about SODAR measurements of wind vortex strength and position.
