The international sodar intercomparison experiment
Abstract
Preliminary results are presented from the International Sodar Intercomparison Experiment (ISIE). Twenty-minute mean wind speeds and directions from a variety of sodar systems compare well with measurements on the 300 m BAO tower, as they did in an earlier comparison experiment at the site. The vertical velocity standard deviations compare better than they did before, but the horizontal wind standard deviations showed no improvement.
