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

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.

BLS2000 Large Aperture Boundary Layer Scintillometer

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
• LED array eases transmitter alignment
• LED array allows transmitter to be mounted on vibrating towers

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.

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.

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.

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).

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

SLS40 Laser Surface Layer Scintillometer

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

The Scintec SLS40 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 is specifically designed for operation on towers or other platforms prone to vibration. 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.

Key Features:

• heat flux, momentum flux by purely optical means
• suitable for stable and unstable conditions
• measures Cn2, CT2, l0
• crosswind option available
• spatially averaging technique
• high temporal resolution
• low statistical noise
• no flow distortion
• easy installation and operation

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

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.

Remote Temperature & Humidity Profiling

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

Accurate profiling of atmospheric temperature and humidity is a prerequisite for many meteorological studies, including nowcasting, model evaluation, and assimilation. Unfortunately, existing instrumentation lacks either the temporal or vertical resolution required for such application.

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.

or click to view full size

TG360THOR GUARD's New TG 360 sets an incredible level of prediction And detection technology never seen before combining entirely new detection technology, faster atmospheric data acquisition and proven algorithms for all Storm Predictions. Our team has created a system responding to the demands of our customers. THOR GUARD's most advanced technology ever for those who demand the best!
 

• Onsite Lightning Prediction and Detection
• Works Regardless of Whether The Power or Internet Goes Down
• Onsite Weather Station and National Radar Included
• 3 Year TG360 Assembly Warranty and Lifetime Software Upgrades

Sensor
The TG360 is the world's most advanced Lightning Prediction System while also having the world's fastest onsite lightning detection technology. It all starts with the revolutionary TG360 sensor up on your roof with the best view of your sky. The sensor is made in the USA from UV protected ASA plastic that requires no maintenance and does not rust. The electrostatic atmospheric sampling rate of the TG360 is greater than 170,000 samples per second - combined with the intigrated photocells means the TG360 literally sees in light and energy in every direction. Cat5 Ethernet cable connects the TG360 sensor to the DEHN Lightning Surge Protection Device.
  
DEHN
The DEHN Lightning Protection Device is meant to take any inadverdent energy surges or strikes on the TG360 Sensor or Voice of Thor Base safely to the ground rather than having that hit any of your expensive network equipment. After the lightning data from the TG360 safely passes through DEHN Lightning Protection Device, another Cat5 Ethernet cable connects to the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter in the desired interior location.
 
 Router
The 5 Port Ubiquiti EdgeRouter is the hub where all the lightning data and Voice of Thor controls pass through. Power over ethernet is sent up to the TG360 and to the Voice of Thor Base System here. This is where the internet is connected as well as the provided laptop running the ThorServer Software.
  
Software
The preconfigured laptop issued with each system will be running our ThorServer Software. ThorServer is the control center that processes the lightning prediction and detection data from the TG360. This is how your data will get to your ThorTV website for remote viewing and the ThorServer software also assists the Voice of Thor when horns and strobes are to be triggered either manually or automatically. ThorServer also handles your onsite weather station data that comes with each TG360 system. The Guardian Emergency Notification System or GENS is now a component of the TG360 as well residing in the ThorServer software.

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.

Boxwall BW102

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

After a year of development we are now launching our new product – the Boxwall BW102. Like our previous model, the BW52, the new flood barrier is self-anchoring. Each “box” in the new barrier is automatically ballasted by up to 1.2 tons of water, but weighs itself only 15 kg (34 lbs). As a comparison a single box replaces 144 sandbags a 18 kg (40 lbs) in an sandbag barrier of equal height. Thanks to the low weight and the easy handling it is now possible for anyone to protect their own house, their own company or their own school by building an own flood barrier. Most often the half meter (20″) high BW52 will be enough, but with the BW102 we are now also able to hold back one meter (40″) deep water.

PT-12 Precision Thermometer

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

The Pt12 is a highly precise and stable platinum resistance thermometer (PRT) based multi-channel temperature measurement system. Using a custom designed high-quality measurement circuit with full current reversal and multiplexed sampling, the Pt12 provides 12 channels of low uncertainty temperature data for validation and calibration engineers.

Supports THERMOtelligent™ Smart 4-Wire PRTs
THERMOtelligent™ Smart-Platinum Resistance Thermometers save you valuable time and decrease the possibility of measurement errors by eliminating the need to change calibration coefficients in the thermometer readout when temperature probes are changed.

Adjustable Current Modes
Using one of three automatic or user selectable currents, the Pt12 repeatedly scans all 12 channels. Employing a full reversal current source, the Pt12 eliminates polarity sensitive errors normally inherent to DC measuring techniques. Accuracy is further enhanced by referencing all measurements to high stability, temperature compensated internal refence resistors.

Multiple Coefficient Modes
The integrated firmware allows each channel to be individually programmed with ITS-90 or Callendar-Van Dusen (CVD) coefficients for direct conversion of resistance measurements to temperature. It incorporates a full color,  pinch zoom touch screen as the user interface. Although not required for operation, the PT12 may also be  connected to a PC over an RS-232 or USB interface.

HYDRIXŪ weather radar

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

The HYDRIX® weather radar proposed by NOVIMET is a specialized radar for rainfall measurement. Associated to the ZPHI® software, it offers the same precision as 11000 rain gauges spread over a radius of 60 km.

HYDRIX® radar operates at X band and possesses the Doppler and polarimetric capability. At X band, an accurate antenna resolution is obtained with a moderate antenna size (1.5 m diameter). Thus wind resistance (to 180 km/h) of the positioner may be achieved without radome. The interest of operating without radome is two fold:

• When raining over the radome, a water film develops, that induces a severe insertion loss and biases the radar calibration. Hydrophobic painting on the radome is not a practical solution since it loses its property after six months of outside exposure. Operating without radome allows avoiding this major inconvenient
• The radome increases significantly the total mass of the system and increases infrastructure constraint and complexity of installation. The HYDRIX® antenna of the offset type has been specified for particularly low side lobes (<-30 dB), which reduces the ground clutter and improves the radar visibility in complex terrain

The latest generation of HYDRIX radar embeds the whole radar electronics in the pedestal, which is airtight and cooled by an air-conditioning unit. Thus, the radar is fully protected against outdoor aggression such as dust salted fog or insects.

S900 9-in-1 Smart Weather Sensor

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

Today, data on localised weather, known as microclimates, is the new frontier for more precise and accurate weather forecasting. As a result, the collection of weather data is becoming increasingly smaller and gridded. In light of this, weather stations, which are the most convenient means of collecting weather data, are increasing in demand.

The SenseCAP ONE S900 9-in-1 Compact Weather Sensor can help you collect and monitor environmental and weather data, which are crucial in different application scenarios such as smart cities, agriculture, maritime ports and many different matrixed environments where accuracy is crucial. The SenseCAP ONE S900 is equipped with sensors to measure nine parameters: air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, light intensity, rainfall, pollution, PM2.5 & PM10, wind speed, and wind direction.

SenseCAP ONE is IP66 certified, and its strong robust features allows it to withstand even the toughest outdoor environments. Sensors to measure wind speed and wind direction use ultrasound instead of traditional mechanical 3-cup or vane anemometer. The advantage of using ultrasonic sensors is that reducing the movable parts can make the sensor less likely to break and thereby is easier to be maintained without any sacrifices in precision or manpower.

The SenseCAP ONE series uses the RS 485 (MODBUS-RTU) / 232 / 422 (Modbus) / SDI-12 communication protocol. Hence, the SenseCAP ONE compact weather sensor can be used with any datalogger that supports RS 485 (MODBUS-RTU) / 232 / 422 (Modbus) / SDI-12.

We also provide the SenseCAP Sensor Hub 4G Data Logger (supporting solar power and DC wall power) that can be used with the SenseCAP ONE series weather sensor. The data can be transmitted to the Sensor Hub and then to the SenseCAP server or a private server of your choice. If you choose to use the SenseCAP server, we also provide an API for you to seamlessly make your own applications.

Measures:

• Air temperature
• Relative humidity
• Barometric pressure
• Light intensity
• Rainfall (optical)

Diluvium™ Flood Barrier

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

Flooding is a global challenge that is getting worse. It is essential to have a flood protection solution to protect your property. There are many products aimed at providing flood protection, from simple sand bags to permanent steel/ concrete structures.

Some are easy to use but lack strength and/ or height, others are very strong but require a lot of time and manpower to deploy and can be very expensive. So customers are often faced with a choice, a compromise or dilema even.

But now there is a solution that offers both the strength and the ease of use needed to protect your property.

Diluvium™, our ultra-light, ultra-strong patented solution is manufactured from technical textiles and is a fully portable, re-useable, recyclable flood barrier. It’s very quick and easy to deploy in any environment and will create a safe, watertight solution in minutes.

Diluvium™ is a modular system which means it can be extended to any length required. Additionally, corner sections can be fitted to adapt to the required dimensions of the property.

ZPHI Software

Hover over image to zoom
or click to view full size

The ZPHI ® software implements three patents brought by CNRS to NOVIMET, CNRS becoming a share holder of the company.

In 2017, NOVIMET set a fourth patent which improved the algorithm by a better consideration of the spatial variability of precipitation.

ZPHI ® takes advantage of “dual polarization” radar technology to extract the value of the intensity of rain with unprecedented precision.

ZPHI ® features are:

• Measurement of the rain rate on the ground, with precision better than a gauge
• Separation of precipitation echoes from clutters (ground clutter or sea)
• Classification of different types of precipitations (rain, snow, sleet, hail).

The specific advantages of ZPHI ® lie in the fact that:

• It corrects the estimation of the rain rate from the attenuation effects (for C-band and X-band)
• It adapts itself to the natural variability of the rain, adjusting automatically the convertion “radar signal → rain intensity”, without degrading the spatial resolution of the input data…
• It allows you to check the internal absolute calibration of the radar.
  It has a module for classification of types of precipitations also suitable for attenuated band frequencies

The ZPHI ® algorithm is applicable to X-band (~ 9 GHz), C-band (~ 5 GHz) and S-band (~ 3 GHz).

or click to view full size

Don’t Compromise, Meet Technical and Business Priorities

Leading-edge organizations choose Open Compute Project (OCP)-based infrastructure so they can scale out cost-effectively. There is a strong argument for using OCP-based hardware in a data center: It is less expensive to buy and to maintain, reduces points of failure, is designed for more efficient power management, and significantly reduces security issues.

However, for teams trying to perform complex high-performance computing (HPC) or artificial intelligence (AI), OCP has been a challenge. Few vendors have the skills and experience to build server or rack designs that meet the complex, software-driven needs of HPC and AI. Among those that do, designs often do not address the power and cooling requirements of today’s fastest processors.

 Fortunately, Penguin Computing™—an early adopter and supporter of OCP technology—has the solution: the Penguin Computing Tundra platform. The Tundra platform combines the capital and operating expense savings of OCP-based hardware with the latest processors for HPC and AI.

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.
