Tristatic sodar
Abstract
The operating principles of sodar (acoustic radar working at 1 to 3 kHz) are reviewed and a system using three modules placed at the vertices of a triangle is described. The tristatic system was developed to measure the wind total velocity vector and to explore boundary layer dynamics.
