Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

Dual-Disk Design

The Scintec BLS2000 Large Aperture Scintillometer measures atmospheric turbulence, heat flux and crosswind over path lengths between 500 m and 12 km. As part of a meteorological station it can also be used to determine the evapotranspiration over extended areas.

A scintillometer senses turbulence between an optical transmitter and a receiver. The operation principle is based on the modulation of light by atmospheric refractive index fluctuations in the air. The phenomenon is called scintillation and is the reason why stars twinkle at night.

Compared to conventional turbulence measurements with point sensors, scintillometers gather spatially representative results with lower statistical scatter and shorter averaging times.

The Dual-Disk Design of the BLS2000 provides for instantaneous corrections of absorption fluctuations, saturation of scintillation and outer scale effects. This results in significantly higher data quality and increased measurement ranges. All BLS Series scintillometers use LED arrays. Wide emission angles virtually eliminate the need for transmitter alignment and maintain high data accuracy even when used on towers which are prone to vibration.

Key Features:

• measures turbulence over large spatial scales
• Dual-Disk Design for unrivalled accuracy
• crosswind measurement capability
• maximum path length 6000 m

HygroVUE™10 sensor

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

The HygroVUE™10 offers a combined temperature and relative humidity element in an advanced digital sensor that is ideal for weather networks. The electronics within the sensor provide accurate measurements, and the sensor is easy to use. The digital SDI-12 output allows a simple connection and measurement by many data logging systems. Another benefit is that this digital output avoids the extra errors associated with measuring analog sensors.

A stainless-steel mesh filter on the HygroVUE™10 minimizes the effects of dust and dirt on the sensor while allowing air exchange around the sensor element and reducing the chances that condensation remains inside the filter cap. A small PTFE membrane filter is bonded to the surface of the element, which prevents any finer dust or mold from directly influencing the measurement.

Because the sensor housing is designed to withstand permanent exposure to various weather conditions and to fit inside a range of radiation shields (including compact shields), the HygroVUE™10 is truly suitable for a wide range of monitoring applications.

The HygroVUE™10 utilizes a latest-generation, Swiss-made, combined relative humidity and temperature element based on CMOSens® technology that offers good measurements, accuracy, and stability. Each element of the HygroVUE™10 is individually calibrated with the calibration corrections stored on the chip. You can easily change the sensor element in the field, which reduces your downtime and calibration costs.

To fill this gap, Raymetrics S.A., a global leader in lidar (lidar detection and ranging) technology, is developing a new state-of-the-art temperature and humidity lidar instrument. Based on the lidar technique the new product can provide measurements of temperature and humidity from near the ground up to few kilometers, with vertical resolution down to few meters and time of the order of few seconds.

The measurements are based on accurate observation of spectral signature of atmospheric molecules and their changes with ambient temperature. The new system integrates finding from leading research institutes developed during the final decade, into robust and reliable lidar that can cover requirements for a wide range of application.

The system can be optimized either for Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) monitoring, or observation in the middle and upper troposphere. The interpretations of the data are done using proprietary algorithms that exploit the full information content on the measurements, delivering consistently better results than even state-of-the-art retrieval techniques.

windRASS RASS Extension

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

The Scintec windRASS™ upgrades the sodar models SFAS or MFAS to work in radio-acoustic mode for precise measurements of both wind and temperature. This differs from conventional RASS where radio-acoustic sounding is used for temperature measurements only. 

With windRASS™, acoustic and electro-magnetic beams are emitted in vertical and tilted directions. The electromagnetic waves are backscattered at the acoustic waves and a Doppler analysis is performed. Wind and temperature are derived via their influence on the speed of sound. windRASS™ is the first wind and temperature profiler that works anywhere, anytime. It is immune to ground clutter and ambient noise, making it a perfect solution for urban or industrial environments. Since windRASS™ does not depend on the existence of atmospheric turbulence, it operates at full performance in the marine boundary layer (coastal sites), foggy conditions or calm nights, each characterized by low turbulence levels. In addition, windRASS™ is not compromised by precipitation. 

The Extended-Sweep Inversion technique (ESI) significantly increases the signal-to-noise ratio and allows for measurement ranges far wider than those of traditional RASS systems.

windRASS™ is operated using APRun with extensive graphical display options and remote access support.

Key Features:

• immune to ground clutter and noise
• tolerates precipitation
• tolerates turbulence-free atmospheres
• ESI technology increases data availability
• maximum range up to 600 / 800 m with Sodar SFAS / MFAS
• monitors inversion heights with 5 / 10 m precision with Sodar SFAS / MFAS

SLS40-A Laser Surface Layer Scintillometer

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

The Scintec SLS40-A Scintillometer measures turbulence, heat flux and momentum flux by purely optical means. In combination with other meteorological sensors the system can determine latent heat flux or evaporation.

The SLS40-A has both built-in automatic beam steering and vibration correction. It is designed for operation on towers or other platforms which are prone to vibration or longterm-drift. Vibration effects are compensated by using the signal of four instead of two optical detectors.

Each SLS Series Scintillometer consists of a laser transmitter pointing at a receiver. Temperature fluctuations in the air cause variations of the light intensity captured at the receiver. The scintillometer evaluates such variations to yield turbulence information.

The line averaging over the optical path results in spatially representative data and outstanding temporal resolution – a critical edge over data collected from conventional point sensors. The scintillometer provides high sensitivity and accuracy – without mechanical flow distortion or any moving part.

The proprietary displaced-beam technique of the SLS Series Scintillometers opens up access to mechanical turbulence quantities (momentum flux, kinetic-energy dissipation rate) without need to feed in any external wind data.

BTD-350 Thunderstorm Detector

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

The BTD-350 Thunderstorm Detector is a standalone sensor that reliably detects the presence of all forms of lightning to a range of 83km. The unique quasi electrostatic operating principle gives the detector a very low false alarm rate and the ability to warn of the risk of overhead lightning.

The ability to reliably detect and range cloud-to-cloud lightning, which is typically much more common than cloud-to-ground strikes, makes the BTD-350 much more sensitive to the presence of storms compared to devices that rely on radio detection. The electrostatic operating principle allows the sensor to warn of the risk of overhead lightning before the first discharge occurs.

Virtually maintenance free in operation, the BTD-350 can either interface directly to an integrated system or be operated using the supplied PC compatible display and logging software. The optional warning relay module allows the sensor to automatically sound alarms whenever a storm approaches.

• Warns of overhead lightning risk even before the first lightning discharge
• Highly immune to radio interference which is the major cause of false alarms in traditional standalone detectors
• 83 km (45 NM) detection range exceeds the US FAA requirements
• Detects cloud-to-ground and as well as weaker but more common cloud-to-cloud lightning
• Detects charged precipitation
• Meets FAA performance requirements for aerodrome use
• Provides information for enhanced CAP437 reporting of thunderstorms
• Developed for marine applications both on and offshore
• Certified for marine operation for salt spray, vibration and EMC
• Meets EN50536:2011+A1:2012 requirments for a Class 1 detector
• Meets IEC 62793 performance requirements for a Class A detector

Eiffel-Type Wind Tunnels

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

The Eiffel-type wind tunnel has no air recirculation. The blower is at the end of the tunnel in an outflow diffusor. In this procedure, the flow guidance happens by means of a smoothing chamber (with a rectifier and sieves) and a nozzle. This system is connected to a closed section of measurements. The closed section is indispensable as a consequence of the low pressure arising due the structure of the blower.

The main advantages of the Eiffel-type can be summarized as follows:

• Flow disturbances caused by the rotor do not pass anymore through the wind tunnel together with the flow
• Low costs
• Due to the fact that the air is absorbed from the environment, measurements are always made under the currently existing ambient temperature.

All wind tunnels are designed and manufactured by us in accordance with the requirements of the individual customer specifications.

WR-25XP Weather Radar

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

X-Band Dual Polarization and Doppler

The WR-25XP is the flagship product of the ELDES’ X-Band mini radar family, characterized by a price/performance ratio that is unique on the market.

The capacity to operate in simultaneous dual-polarization and Doppler capabilities make WR-25XP an ideal instrument for the most advanced radar hydro-meteorological application, as well as for medium-scale civil protection uses.

Given its small size and weight, the WR-25XP can even be installed on a light trailer for quick relocation to areas open to hydrological risk, or to areas with high concentration of people for civil protection needs.

Its cluster networking ability allows the system coverage to be extended practically without limit. The resulting image produces mosaics, integrating the data collected by all the sensors making up the network.

Thanks to the use of the latest technology, as well as the capital, installation, and operating costs of WR-25XP radars networks, these are a very attractive alternatives to the traditional high-power, large-size, weather radar approach.

A powerful Linux Workstation, typically installed in the Radar Control Centre or near the radar itself, processes the polar data of the three-dimensional spaces containing the instances acquired by one or more radars. The result is the generation of a large number of reflectivity and Doppler products, usually only available with considerably more expensive weather radars.

Furthermore, by means of the differential parameters measured, thanks to dual polarization, a reliable classification of hydrometeors is possible. At the same time, the Doppler processing allows for instantaneous estimation of the turbulence velocity vectors.

The products can be displayed through a simple graphic user interface; the Metranet2, for immediate use, even by non–experts. The data and weather maps produced can be even displayed through WEB Clients, either supplied by ELDES or third parties. The WR-25XP can be installed in unattended stations as it can be remotely controlled, and it can transmit pre-processed data.

ELDES is based in Italy but thanks to our Service Department, supported by our Distributor network, we can easily reach all parts of the world, ensuring constant support and quick response times.

Gap filling, storm prevention, research, hydrology, transportation, harbour and airport activity, outdoor events… Anticipate the future with WR-25XP.

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

The Scintec RAE2 RASS Extension upgrades any Scintec Sodar SFAS, MFAS or XFAS to allow precise measurements of temperature profiles in the atmospheric boundary layer. Temperature is retrieved by remotely measuring the speed of sound which depends on the temperature. This is done by Doppler analysis of the frequency of radiowaves which have been reflected at acoustic waves emitted by the Sodar. 

RASS can replace towers, tethered balloons or radiosondes at a fraction of the operational costs. Compared to passive, thermal microwave techniques, RASS can precisely detect and locate even multiple inversions and has higher accuracy.

The Extended-Sweep Inversion technique (ESI) significantly increases the signal-to-noise ratio and allows for measurement ranges far wider than those of traditional systems.

The RAE2 is operated using the versatile software APRun with flexible configurability, extensive graphical display and output options, quality control features, statistical analysis tools and remote access support.

CPAS

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

The ClusterTech Platform for Atmospheric Simulation (CPAS)

The ClusterTech Platform for Atmospheric Simulation (CPAS) is a cloud-based service platform which implements Customizable Unstructured Mesh Generation (CUMG) and Hierarchical Time-Stepping (HTS) on Model for Prediction Across Scales - Atmosphere (MPAS-A (v6.3)) to better serve the computational needs of numerical atmospheric model users.

Background - CPAS is developed based on MPAS-A and WRF

To achieve a balance between accuracy and computational cost, many Numerical Weather Prediction models (NWPs), such as Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF), adopt a set of rectangular grids where local refinement is achieved by nesting a high-resolution domain inside coarser grids. MPAS-A adopts spherical centroidal Voronoi tessellations (SCVTs) covering the globe, while local refinement is achieved using variable-resolution meshes. MPAS-A is a promising model for practical usages. However, MPAS-A uses a constant global timestep, determined by the size of the smallest mesh cell, which limits the resolution variability. This is because the existence of a high resolution region would make the computational resource requirements prohibitively large.

HTS - Arbitrary resolution variation

CPAS has relaxed this restriction by implementing an optional Hierarchical Time-Stepping (HTS) treatment in the MPAS-A (v6.3) dynamic core. Cells of different sizes can have different time step levels and hence the computational requirements are substantially reduced, particularly for large variations in resolution. This allows MPAS-A to be used for high-resolution regional/local forecast, instead of limited area models such as WRF (v3.9.1).

CUMG - 100% well-staggered mesh, zero obtuse Delaunay triangle

In contrast to MPAS-A's standard meshes with fixed shape, span and range of resolution variations, the Customizable Unstructured Mesh Generation (CUMG) enables local mesh refinement in arbitrary shape using user-defined horizontal resolution in any desired locations. Bespoke mesh generation can be done by simply drawing polygons on a map panel and setting the resolutions in the selected polygons. Our mesh generation algorithm have solved a well-known problem in generating SCVT with arbitrarily shaped refinement for MPAS' use - no obtuse Delaunay triangle. We guarantee the resulting meshes have perfect SCVT staggering.

BTD-300 Thunderstorm Detector

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

The BTD-300 Thunderstorm Detector is a standalone sensor that reliably detects the presence of all forms of lightning to a range of 83 km. The unique quasi electrostatic operating principle gives the detector a very low false alarm rate and the ability to warn of the risk of overhead lightning.

The ability to reliably detect and range cloud-to-cloud lightning, which is typically much more common than cloud-to-ground strikes, makes the BTD-300 much more sensitive to the presence of storms compared to devices that rely on radio detection. The electrostatic operating principle allows the sensor to warn of the risk of overhead lightning before the first discharge occurs.

Virtually maintenance free in operation, the BTD-300 can either interface directly to an integrated system or be operated using the supplied PC compatible display and logging software. The optional warning relay module allows the sensor to automatically sound alarms whenever a storm approaches.

• Warns of overhead lightning risk even before the first lightning discharge
• Highly immune to radio interference which is the major cause of false alarms in traditional standalone detectors
• 83 km (45 nm) detection range exceeds the US FAA requirements
• Detects cloud-to-cloud as well as weaker but more common cloud-to-ground lightning
• Detects charged precipitation
• Meets FAA performance requirements for aerodrome use
• Meets EN50536:2011+A1:2012 requirements for a Class 1 detector
• Meets IEC 62793 performance requirements for a Class A detector
• Optional direction finder

BLS900 Large Aperture Boundary Layer Scintillometer

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

Dual Disk Design.

The Scintec BLS900 Large Aperture Scintillometer measures atmospheric turbulence, heat flux and crosswind over path lengths between 100 m (with Path Reduction Aperture, otherwise 500 m) and 6000 m. As part of a meteorological station it can also be used to determine the evapotranspiration over extended areas.

A Scintillometer senses turbulence between an optical transmitter and a receiver. The operation principle is based on the modulation of light by atmospheric refractive index fluctuations in the air. The phenomenon is called scintillation and is the reason why stars twinkle at night.

Compared to conventional turbulence measurements with point sensors, scintillometers gather spatially representative results with lower statistical scatter and shorter averaging times.

The Dual-Disk Design of the BLS900 provides for instantaneous corrections of absorption fluctuations, saturation of scintillation and outer scale effects. This results in significantly higher data quality and increased measurement ranges. All BLS Series Scintillometers use LED arrays. Wide emission angles virtually eliminate the need for transmitter alignment and maintain high data accuracy even when used on towers which are prone to vibration.

Key Features:

• measures turbulence over large spatial scales
• Dual-Disk Design for unrivalled accuracy
• crosswind measurement capability
• maximum path length 6000 m
• LED array eases transmitter alignment
• LED array allows transmitter to be mounted on vibrating towers

SLS20-A Laser Surface Layer Scintillometer

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

The Scintec SLS20-A Scintillometer measures turbulence, heat flux and momentum flux by purely optical means. In combination with other meteorological sensors the system can determine latent heat flux or evaporation. 

The model SLS20-A has built-in automatic beam steering which permits operation when manual beam alignment is undesirable or difficult. It may also be useful when the pointing stability of the mounting is poor. 

Each SLS Series Scintillometer consists of a laser transmitter pointing at a receiver. Temperature fluctuations in the air cause variations of the light intensity captured at the receiver. The scintillometer evaluates such variations to yield turbulence information.

The line averaging over the optical path results in spatially representative data and outstanding temporal resolution – a critical edge over data collected from conventional point sensors. The scintillometer provides high sensitivity and accuracy – without mechanical flow distortion or any moving part.

The proprietary displaced-beam technique of the SLS Series Scintillometers opens up access to mechanical turbulence quantities (momentum flux, kinetic-energy dissipation rate) without need to feed in any external wind data.

Everbridge Visual Command Center for Critical Event Management

The key to achieving these missions is a common operating picture. Visual Command Center provides one platform where security and business continuity teams can identify relevant risks, gain context around each risk to understand its importance, identify all assets that could be affected, and act to avoid or mitigate the impact of a risk event. Whether you have a Security Operations Center, a distributed team of security and risk managers, or both, a common operating picture will enable your teams to protect your interests when faced with a critical event.

Eliminate noise and identify relevant risks quickly. One of the greatest challenges to critical event management is weeding through risk event information to identify credible threats. Using a common operating environment that tracks both assets and risk events geospatially, Visual Command Center helps cut through the noise made by multiple, unrelated risk sources. 

Determine the risk sources you want to track from our extensive list. Identify the assets you want to monitor. Receive an alert when a risk is detected near your assets. Visual Command Center records all reported risk events
but alerts you only to relevant risks.

BLS450 Large Aperture Boundary Layer Scintillometer

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

The Scintec BLS450 Large Aperture Scintillometer measures atmospheric turbulence and heat flux over path lengths between 100 m (with Path Reduction Aperture, otherwise 500 m) and 6000 m. As part of a meteorological station it can also be used to determine the evapotranspiration over extended areas.

A scintillometer senses turbulence between an optical transmitter and a receiver. The operation principle is based on the modulation of light by atmospheric refractive index fluctuations in the air. The phenomenon is called scintillation and is the reason why stars twinkle at night.

Compared to conventional turbulence measurements with point sensors, scintillometers gather spatially representative results with lower statistical scatter and shorter averaging times. As a double-ended remote sensing system, scintillometers also allow access to terrains like forest or water without need to install in-situ sensors.

Unlike other large aperture scintillometers, the Scintec BLS Series uses LED arrays which produce wide emission angles. The wide emission angle virtually eliminates the need for transmitter alignment and provides more accurate measurement results. In addition, it facilitates the use on towers which are often prone to vibration.

Key Features:

• measures turbulence over large spatial scales
• maximum path length 6000 m
• LED array eases transmitter alignment
• LED array allows transmitter to be mounted on vibrating towers
• built-in Receiver Alignment Monitor
• Signal Processing Unit performs all calculations
• 6 GB built-in data storage
• remote access
• infrared window heating available

Key Applications:

• surface energy balance
• satellite data ground truth
• plant evapotranspiration
• agrometeorology, forestry
• hydrology, water management
• turbulence studies
• atmospheric dispersion
• optical propagation conditions
• defence weather

Low Level Windshear Alert System

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

Featuring the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Phase 3 LLWAS Algorithm

AWI utilizes the field tested NCAR  Phase 3 LLWAS algorithm in order to deliver the safest and most reliable LLWAS system on the market today.  This system has been deployed at hundreds of airfields around the world.  A properly developed, sited, and functioning LLWAS system protects life and property from extremely hazardous wind shear and microburst conditions. AWI’s extensive experience in surface observation systems and sensor integration combined with our integrated display software, provides airports with an unsurpassed LLWAS system.

Detecting and Reporting Wind Shear and Microbursts

Operating aircraft during volatile wind shifts are critical environmental factors to successfully navigating a safe landing or take off.   A strong headwind causes the pilot to push the aircraft nose down to effect the proper glide slope on final approach. When under wind shear or microburst conditions, in an instant that headwind can switch to an equally strong tail wind causing a dangerous loss of air speed.  Having an early warning system that alerts the pilot of these dangerous conditions is essential for the safe operation of your airfield.

Model 8339 Laser Ceilometer

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

The Model 8339 Laser Ceilometer measures8339 desert cloud height and thickness, in addition to vertical visibility. Unlike other ceilometers, the Model 8339 detects up to four cloud layers simultaneously to a distance of 25,000 vertical feet. Its precision makes it ideal for applications requiring the highest level of performance and reliability, such as aviation and meteorological studies.

In order to make these readings, a laser pulse is emitted into the atmosphere and back-scatter analyzed. Using the speed of light, the altitude of each cloud base and top is determined. Due to poorly defined borders or a sparse composition, some clouds are much more difficult to measure than others. Depending on the current and historical sky conditions, an adaptive algorithm determines the number of returns needed to maintain accuracy.

Accurate measurement of cloud height and thickness in all weather conditions, including heavy precipitation and low clouds, can cause serious errors in other ceilometers. AWI has applied proprietary algorithms and digital techniques developed over more than 20 years of cloud detection research and manufacturing, allowing the Model 8339 laser ceilometer to provide accurate information even in difficult circumstances.

Sensing circuits and optimization algorithms control the pulse frequency, output power and temperature of the laser itself in order to dramatically extend its life. The Model 8339 executes an array of self-tests during operation, which detect faults and reports them. These self-tests also identify the replaceable module associated with the fault, making trouble-shooting and repair as simple as possible.

WR-Mobile

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

Mobile version for ELDES WR-Class Weather Radar Systems

Climate change has led ELDES to engineer a further version for its Radar Systems, which can now be proposed not only as fixed installations, but also as mobile on trailer, opening a wider range of applications.

With mobility, ELDES systems (WR-10X – WR-25XP – WR-J) can be easily deployed for real-time weather observation during events in which the safety of operations and people is the first aspect to be taken into consideration; think for example to Sport Events or Leisure activities.

For Civil Protection purposes they can be used for weather monitoring for temporary structures and emergency control installations. In general, in all the situations in which a high-resolution observation, with the guarantee of an effective early-warning on a specific area, is required. Even if this area is already covered by Radar service, the increased resolution given by a local sensor, allows the right notice and the right level of information for a “mission-critical” approach.

At the same time, the WR-Mobile can be a valid tool in the Research/University sector to carry out traveling study campaigns on a specific territory, or always, in the field of Civil Protection and Meteorological Observation, to follow (and track!) significant events.

They can also be an alternative for the Radar coverage of territories without suitable infrastructures to host fixed installations, such as inaccessible areas, or in any case not reached by electricity or data connections.

The WR-Mobile solution is compliant with MIL standards for road and helicopter transportability and MIL tested for stress resistance.

The possibility of being customized with highly reflective adhesives, retractable awning for operator protection and sturdy anchorages ensures safe operation in all environments, even with strong winds. The WR-Mobile was designed to house an independent power generator, but it is also equipped with sockets for a power and data connection to existing networks.

A step forward to change, designed today to face the climatic challenges of tomorrow.

Key Features

• Provision for ELDES WR-10X and WR-25XP weather radar systems installation
• Quick deployment and start-up
• MIL certified for transportation by road or by helicopter
• Can be equipped with power supply, GPS and network connectivity
• IP54 tested and equipped for use in severe weather conditions

3D CLOUD BASE

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

Cloud base height is currently measured using ceilometers, which are in reality low spec LIDAR systems. LIDAR is therefore already the standard method of determining cloud base height. 

Each runway often has more than one ceilometer.

A single 3D scanning LIDAR can measure total ceiling - cloud base in multiple locations, and offer forecasters information about near-future cloud base.

3D Scanning LIDARs can provide:

• Incoming cloud base for near-future forecasting
• Total cloud cover
• 3D cloud base (in case cloud is not directly above ceilometer)
• Excellent range (up to 15km with good SNR)
• Particle distinction (dust, volcanic ash, ice/water clouds, smoke, etc)
• Remote visibility / fog detection

Raymetrics' software now performs auto-picking of cloud base (and other atmospheric layers, such as the PBL or aerosol layers). Automatic particle distinction is also available (may require system upgrade).

Full Season Weather Coverage

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

The successful cultivation of any crop is highly dependent on optimal weather conditions during each stage of the crop’s life.

Be it the right amount of rainfall or dry conditions during harvest, crops have a full season of specific climatological prerequisites to meet quality and quantity expectations. Therefore, increased weather volatility poses a financial risk to farmers making it harder to ensure quality and quantity of the harvest.

A Full Season Weather Cover provides farmers a professional solution to control their weather risk throughout the cultivation of their crop. Based on plant biology and local climatology, farmers are now capable of recovering crop value as growing weather conditions become less favorable for optimal yield.

Weather coverage options include but are not limited to:

• Excess Rainfall: Excessive precipitation can delay timely planting, tilling, harvesting, and other field work. In many cases it also affects the quality of the commodity price.
• Drought: Dry spells can cause wilting, pollination issues and decrease yield and quality.
• Frost: A cool growing season or early frost can prevent crop from reaching full maturity and can  even destroy a crop.
• Heat Stress: Heat can reduce growth and lead to a lower yield and crop grade.

GWSP Weather Signal Extractor

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

GAMIC’s weather signal extractor GWSP is designed to augment ASR/ATC radars with a comprehensive weather data output. It uses the existing surveillance radar data to detect and report severe weather situations in the surrounding area. The GWSP has been installed over 50 times and is operating successfully for more than 10 years by German, Swiss, and Canadian Air Forces, and at Schiphol airport (Amsterdam, NL).

Seamless integration into existing infrastructure

GSWP extracts information from ASR (Air Search / Airport Surveillance Radars) or ATC (Air Traffic Control) radars in parallel to their tracking function and does not conflict with the radar’s main functions. It simply makes use of the already existing but previously discarded radar signal of the surrounding weather. GAMIC’s weather signal extractor is available for radars with magnetron, klystron, or solid-state transmitters.

Setup and functionality

The GWSP constists of three parts. The adaption box (ABOX) captures IF or I/Q data from any type of primary radar and transforms it into WSP data format. The weather signal processor (WSP) corrects and processes the signal to meterological moments (Z, V, W). Last part is the weather data processor (WDP) which generates weather products for prediction and tracking of weather events. GAMIC’s comprehensive weather radar software suite FROG-MURAN can be used optionally to get the full potential out of your weather data.

Output of critical weather data

GWSP provides fast and precise weather data by processing and identifying severe precipitation, wind shear, and other critical weather events like microbursts and gust fronts. The corrected and processed output data are displayed in real-time and color-coded weather parameters: reflectivity (Z), radial velocity (V) and turbulence (W). The data can be sent in suitable formats to operating stations, i.e. ASTERIX CAT008 or other high resolution formats.

Heated Humidity and Temperature Probe for Meteorology

The EE260 humidity and temperature probe with heated humidity sensing element and probe heating delivers precise and reliable measuring results even at high humidity conditions.

Measuring Performance

The EE260 humidity and temperature probe has a dual heating system (sensing element and probe heating). This prevents condensation on the RH sensing element, the sensing head and the filter cap. The probe therefore provides precise and reliable measurement results even in the case of permanent high humidity.

Another benefit of the dual heating system is the very short response time and a fast recovery after condensation.

The E+E sensor coating improves the long-term stability and service life in dusty and corrosive environments.

Compact and Robust

The innovative enclosure of the EE260 combines a heated humidity sensing head and an additional temperature sensing element in a single probe.

Due to its compact design, the probe is compatible with commercially available rotationally symmetric sensor radiation shields.

The robust IP67 enclosure made of UV- and heat-resistant elastomer protects the internal electronics from environmental influences and mechanical damage.

Analogue and Digital

The EE260 probe provides the measured data simultaneously on two freely configurable voltage outputs and via the RS485 interface (Modbus RTU).

Based on the measured humidity and temperature values, the EE260 calculates further humidity-related quantities such as the dew point temperature, absolute humidity or mixing ratio.

Typical Applications

• Meteorological weather stations
• Weather warning systems (road traffic, airports)
• Detection of icing hazard

X-Band Cloud Radar MIRA-10

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

MIRA-10 is a vertically pointing X-band radar specifically designed for the collection of high-quality radar Doppler spectra and moments of liquid and frozen hydrometeors. It uses a solid state amplifier for transmitting and operates either in pulse mode or in pulse compression mode. These modes can be chosen by the user depending on the required sensitivity, range resolution and lowest useable range gate.

In pulse mode it transmits pulses with a pulse length from 100 to 400 ns corresponding to a range resolution of 15 to 60 m. In pulse compression mode MIRA-10 transmits longer frequency modulated pulses. As the peak transmitting power is limited for the solid state amplifier used in the transmitter and the pulse repetition rate (PRF) is limited for preventing second trip echoes the average transmitting power and with it the sensitivity can only be increased by increasing the pulse length. By modulating the transmitted signal and correlating the receiving signal with the transmitted chirp, a higher sensitivity is achieved while the range resolution is retained. For generating the frequency modulated transmitting pulse MIRA-10 uses a Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS).

Main Specifications:

• Peak transmitting power: 800 W
• Maximum average power: 40 W
• Number of range gates: 800
• Transmitting frequency range: 9.2 … 9.6 GHz
• Antenna diameter: 2.4 m

Aircraft-Based Observations Data

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

Proprietary data available for purchase

As the primary reseller for FLYHT’s TAMDAR and AMDAR-over-AFIRS data as well as FlightAware’s Mode S data, Synoptic is bringing these powerful boundary layer data sets to new users and applications worldwide.

Why Aircraft-Based Observations (ABO)?
 
ABO data has been shown to be one of the top five most important data sets (measured by impact per observation) for regional and global Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. This conclusion has been clearly demonstrated during the global COVID crisis, during which the decrease in aircraft-based data reduced global NWP accuracy by more than 20% in some analyses. These aircraft data provide tremendously valuable information in the vertical in the form of a sounding - vertical profiles of temperature, wind, and in TAMDAR’s case, moisture.

What is AMDAR?
The Aircraft Meteorological Data Relay (AMDAR) program was initiated by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and is now a global program that includes more than 40 commercial and cargo airlines. AMDAR uses the aircraft’s own installed sensors to measure wind (direction and speed) and temperature as well as altitude and GPS position during take-off, landing, and cruise. AMDAR data is transmitted to the ground for compilation using the aircraft’s VHF communications suite. Data is available in real-time to National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) agencies and to the sponsoring airline, and is available to all others on a 48-hour delay. For more information on the AMDAR program, please click here.

What is TAMDAR?
Synoptic partner FLYHT’s Tropospheric Airborne Meteorological Data Reporting (TAMDAR) system is currently installed on regional commercial aircraft from a dozen airlines serving North America, Asia, and Europe, providing tens of thousands of observations throughout the boundary layer on a daily basis. Using Iridium satellite communications, this groundbreaking sensor is an after-market install and measures atmospheric conditions during take-off, landing, and cruise phases of a flight. TAMDAR measures wind speed and wind direction, temperature, moisture, pressure, ice detection, and turbulence and transmits them to the ground, where they are available to subscribers in real-time. TAMDAR also acts as a flight tracking mechanism that records a GPS position in both time and space with every observation. For more information on TAMDAR, please click here.
 
 
What is AMDAR-over-AFIRS?
FLYHT’s proprietary Automated Flight Information Reporting System (AFIRS) is an Iridium-based satellite communication device that acquires and transmits aircraft operating data, including many aircraft operational parameters as well as wind and temperature measurements, and delivers that data to the ground in real-time. It is currently installed on regional commercial and cargo aircraft throughout North America, Europe, and Asia with some flights into South America, Africa, and Australia. AMDAR-over-AFIRS refers to the transmission of the measured wind and temperature data (the same as AMDAR reports) via AFIRS, with the two significant differences being the communications path and the fact that AMDAR-over-AFIRS data is available to non-NMHS subscribers immediately, without the 48-hour delay associated with AMDAR. For more information on AMDAR-over-AFIRS, please click here.

What is Mode S Aircraft Weather Data?
Synoptic partner FlightAware operates a global network of more than 20,000 terrestrial receivers that monitor ADS-B and Mode S transmissions from almost all modern commercial aircraft including airlines, cargo lines, and general aviation. Located along major air traffic corridors worldwide, these receivers include those owned and operated by FlightAware as well as its crowdsourced feeder network. These receivers track ADS-B or Mode S reports from the aircraft, which, when interrogated by properly configured air traffic control radars, include downlinked aircraft parameters such as ground speed, Mach number, and other aircraft specific information. Using WMO techniques that have been validated scientifically and proven operationally, these parameters can then be used to derive wind and temperature from more than 40,000 aircraft worldwide, providing upwards of 60,000 vertical profiles of the atmosphere daily. For more information on Mode S, please click here.
 
ABO DATA AND NUMERICAL WEATHER PREDICTION (NWP)
Numerous joint-collaborative studies between NOAA, NASA, the FAA, and the research community have been conducted to demonstrate the use and efficacy of ABO data in NWP.  In some cases, ABO data can even be tailored to better support NWP.  For instance, the vertical and temporal resolution for TAMDAR observations is completely adjustable, allowing for extremely high resolution data in the vertical during take-off and landing, where it has the most positive impact on NWP modeling. This yields a fully customizable solution allowing greater vertical and temporal frequency than either traditional AMDAR or radiosondes.  TAMDAR, AMDAR-over-AFIRS, and Mode S data are all delivered and available in real-time. TAMDAR and AMDAR-over-AFIRS data go through rigorous quality control (both real-time and on the ground) to ensure they meet strict standards. As a newer data set, the formal evaluation of Mode S data by the US National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) is still in progress. The European meteorological community has embraced it and has set up a specialized center, the European Meteorological Aircraft Derived Data Center (EMADDC), to do further studies and implement the transition from research to operations. Beyond NWP, ABO data has use in machine learning/artificial intelligence as well as situational awareness both for forecasters and other user groups such as national security/emergency management, air quality, and airport operations.

SYNOPTIC ABO PARTNERS VS. RADIOSONDES
Since the late 1930s, the gold standard for upper-air data has been the balloon-launched radiosonde.  Radiosondes continue to contribute valuable information, but they are now limited to twice daily launches at 00Z and 12Z at just 92 stations across the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico), leaving large temporal and spatial gaps in data coverage.  Synoptic’s ABO partners fill these gaps as each plane essentially becomes a radiosonde, gathering upper-air data during each portion of the flight (ascent, descent, and cruise).  Soundings are collected every time a plane takes off and lands, which could be 15 or more times a day, yielding tens of thousands of soundings a day.  Soundings are collected at every airport that an ABO partner equipped plane flies into or out of, not just at fixed locations like radiosonde launches.  In addition, TAMDAR measures turbulence and icing, which a radiosonde does not. Radiosondes are costly to deploy and are usually one-use only equipment whereas aircraft can be used continuously for a decade or more. This leads to greater cost-savings for the data provider and data user alike. Combined, Synoptic’s ABO partners provide more than 5x the amount of data available via the traditional AMDAR program.

The high time-resolution of the Model EM-10000 measurements provides a near-instantaneous look at changing airborne particulate concentrations, leading to a well-defined model of local point source influences that may disproportionately affect air quality.

Internet-Enabled
Particles Plus® systems are configured to allow users to push real-time data to the cloud where sensor outputs can be visualized by authorized stakeholders.

Fully Integrated Low-Cost Air Quality Sensor System
Integration of additional sensors for measurement of environmental and meteorological parameters (relative humidity, temperature, barometric pressure, (optional) carbon dioxide – CO2, and total volatile organic compounds – TVOC) offers a more complete view of air quality.

X-band Weather Radar for Mining

Enhanced forecasting possibilities for efficiency and safety

Weather Impact on Mining

The core of mining is to get value out of the ground. However, a threat for the mining industry comes from above. Severe weather like heavy precipitation, thunderstorms, and heavy winds can have a major impact on operation cycles and force temporary shutdowns of mining sites.

Thunderstorms with lightning and hail pose a risk for both human workers and working equipment. Strong winds can interrupt blasting operations. Heavy rain can disable access routes and close whole sites.

Not only open-cast mining but also open transport and embarkation of material from mining in general suffers from precipitation. It reduces maximum payload and thus shipping efficiency.

All in all, severe weather can have many negative impacts on mining, resulting in an unnecessary economic disadvantage.

Lack of radar data

The problem is, mines are often located in sparsely populated regions with lacking weather radar coverage. Forecasting is based on models which provide only a coarse spatial resolution of several kilometers and temporal resolution of several hours.

To reduce the negative impact of weather on mining, short-time forecasting is necessary and inevitably associated with the input data of a high resolution weather radar.

GAMIC X-band Radar fills the gap

While most weather services rely on S- and C-band weather radars due to their large coverage, the smaller and more cost-effective X-band radars have several advantages.

The GAMIC X-band weather radar systems GMWR offer high sensitivity and a high spatial resolution. This way they are able to detect even small but intense shower cells and provide highly reliable input data for nowcasting systems. Optionally, the dual polarization feature can provide additional information about hydrometeors, i.e. the kind of precipitation.

GMWR radar systems provide a compactness that allows flexible installation scenarios as well as transportable and even mobile radars, e.g. mounted on a trailer or truck. All these features make our GMWR radar systems the perfect basis for reliable and short-term weather forecasts to reduce downtime and increase safety of any mining site.

FloodFrame

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

What is FloodFrame?
FloodFrame is an effective, discrete and affordable Property Flood Resilience (PFR) solution.

FloodFrame – how it works
FloodFrame is installed around the house or other building/asset, providing a hidden permanent flood resistance barrier. It activates automatically when the water level rises. FloodFrame does not require electricity and will activate as needed in case of flooding, even if no one is home.

FloodFrame consists of a heavy-duty waterproof cloth, customised to your house’s specifications. It is neatly stowed and concealed in a container, buried around the perimeter of your home, about 1 metre from the building itself.

If the flood waters rise and risk encroaching on your home, the mechanism automatically activates, releasing the cloth from its container. As the water level rises, its pressure causes the cloth to unfurl towards and up around the walls of your house. As FloodFrame is a tailor-made solution, we can ensure it automatically protects your home to the desired level, relative to flood risk in your area. It has an automatic release function when flood waters are detected, but FloodFrame can also be activated manually, should you wish to do so.

The heavy-duty cloth prevents the water from entering your house. The storage container buried around the perimeter, helps prevent the water from seeping into the house’s foundations.

After the cloth has been used during a flood, it is either rolled back or replaced, as needed.

The service-subscription includes an annual check up, so you can rest assured that everything is in optimal working order.
