Functional features and advantages
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.

OSi’s ORG® (Optical Rain Gauge) is a superior tool for rain measurement. The ORG® is the only instrument available to measure true rain rate. This means you avoid the reading errors due to mechanical limitations, which plague other low-tech gauges.
No other rain sensor comes close to the ORG® in performance and features. Our scintillation technology has undisputed advantages over the competition.
From Antarctica to Saudi Arabia and from Switzerland to Australia, users worldwide rely upon OSi sensors. Our instruments can be found working for airports, transportation authorities (such as state DOT’s), businesses, municipalities, universities, research institutions, military, and other government agencies. Our customers include the NWS, FAA, MIT, NASA, USAF, and USGS. If your weather measurement needs involve hydrological profiling, research, or synoptic observation, OSi’s sensors will do the job.
OSi’s scintillation technology is the best method for optical measurement of rain. Falling rain causes beam intensity variations in the infrared light as it passes through the beam. These irregularities, known as scintillation, have characteristic patterns, which are detected by the sensor and converted to rain rate.
ORG®has a very tough, lightweight frame, which can withstand the rigors of the weather. Lens heaters keep the optical path clear of dew or condensation. The enclosure is rated NEMA-4 (IP 66). The instrument is easily installed using our U-bolt configuration to a vertical pole or horizontal bar. (No special mounting pole required.) ORG®reports rain rate in mm/hr. The output format is a common ASCII delimited data string, which is easily handled by a PC or Data Collection System.
OSi’s sensors have more than 200 million hours of proven field operation in all climates. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) for OSi instruments is in excess of 45,000 hours. The ORG®operates unattended 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The instrument uses proprietary algorithms that eliminate the need for frequent analog calibration. Field calibration is no longer required. The sensor uses an Automatic Gain Control to compensate for signal loss caused by dirty lenses. The sensor also employs a comprehensive self-test that updates once per minute and reports any potential problems in the output message.
No other precipitation sensors provide this powerful combination of high technology and proven reliability!
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.

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.

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.

AWI's 7150 Digital Barometer Series, was designed to provide accurate pressure measurements over a wide range of environmental temperatures and pressures. The fully compensated digital barometer is ideal for use in demanding automated weather station applications and is fully certified by the FAA.
The barometers use pressure transducers with silicon peizoresistive absolute pressure sensors. The pressure sensors have excellent hysteresis and repeatability characteristics, low temperature dependence, and very good long term stability. The pressure transducers used in the 7150 series are unparalleled in terms of durability and ruggedness.
Three models are available in the 7150 series, and they vary by the number of transducers that are present. Additional pressure transducers allow for operational redundancy, and can be used to flag the digital barometer for maintenance or replacement. All of the barometers in the 7150 series are available with either RS-232 or RS-485 communication.
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.

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.

The RWS-20 Road Weather Sensor is designed for use in road applications where accurate and reliable visibility measurements are required. The forward scatter measurement principle and unique design ensure the output is both accurate and reliable in all weather conditions and will not be influenced by local light sources, even flashing signs.
The 10m to 7.5km measurement range is optimal for use in road applications. Heating of the optical windows prevents misting and the optional sensor hood heating can be provided, allowing use in the harshest of conditions. Both optical windows are monitored for contamination and the visibility output is automatically compensated to reduce maintenance requirements.
In addition to the serial data interface, the sensor provides analogue voltage output and optional current outputs of visibility (MOR) or extinction coefficient (EXCO). Optional relays provide threshold and self-test switching capability.
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.

Climatological database is a critical component of any modern meteorological institute of today. The main utilization of such system is storage of all collected meteorological data in one unified structure to avoid data inconsistencies and discrepancies and to enable standard comfortable data access for all users and other software systems.
Within the Climatological Database (CLDB), the above mentioned unified structure is based on SQL Database Server and the standard data access is based on SQL language. The guarantee of data storage quality is the industry proven Oracle® Database Server, the world leader in database technologies. Great alternative for smaller systems is based on an open source solution offered by PosgreSQL. CLDB is based on WMO1 recommended practices for climatological data processing (WMO Guide No. 100). It follows the WMO suggestion of a RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) application with wide use in climatology (World Climate Program efforts concerning new Climate Data Management Systems - CDMSs).
Great advantage of CLDB is its modular architecture, which gives the end user the possibility of detailed customization. The end user can specify additional non-standard input and output modules. Modules can be easily implemented and added to any existing or future installation. One of the most interesting extensions offered is upgrade to environmental database (integration of AWS, radar, satellite, profiler, historical observations, marine data, radiation and air pollution monitoring and more). To provide high availability of the database we use Oracle Real Application Cluster - the database solution provides fault tolerance and high performance for mission-critical applications.
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.

Features
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.

Lightweight and reusable radiosonde
Windsond is a miniature GPS radiosonde system by Sparv Embedded, whose focus on portability and low operating costs make its instruments perfect for frequent use in the field.
The Windsond radiosonde only needs a nine gram balloon and about 30 liters of helium for low altitude soundings, making it extremely portable. The standard Windsond system can track up to eight sondes per radio receiver. An extension of Windsond which supports more than 30 radiosondes simultaneously has made headlines in the USA, and Sparv has now extended this further, supporting over 100 sondes in the air.
We also offer Windsond as a “reusable” option equipped with dual cut-down mechanisms, strobe light and loudspeaker to ease recovery of the sonde. The unique hardware features in combination with special software attributes makes recovery of sondes very possible. We have customers launching the same sonde over ten times. Recovery of sondes works best for soundings where the sonde is cut down from the balloon below four kilometers altitude. The maximum altitude for Windsond is about nine kilometers.
The radiosondes are easily managed on the ground using one of our radio receivers connected to a laptop installed with the Windsond software. Receivers can connect to the laptop via USB or Bluetooth.
All the above mentioned features, in combination with the user-friendly software makes Windsond highly appreciated by its users.

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:
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.

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.

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.

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.
The GMWR-25-WS is a cost-effective X-band Doppler weather radar for reliable surveillance of critical weather around airports and other important infrastructures. It is designed for operation ranges up to 32 NM (60 km) and has very high update rates of less than 12 seconds per 360° scan. One major benefit is its seamless integration into ATC infrastructure.
Features
Standard and ATC data output
All GAMIC radars provide data in standard weather radar data formats. For optimal
compatibility with air traffic controller (ATC) consoles and sharing data with other air
traffic control agencies, the GMWR-25-WS additionally provides output formats
ASTERIX CAT008 and CAT009.
Advanced signal processing
All GAMIC radars include our digital receiver and signal processor ENIGMA which allows rapid scanning and analysis products of scientific quality and accuracy. Digital Doppler velocity processing enables accurate velocity measurement.
The processing allows filtering of the input data, including clutter suppression (40 dB or better) resulting in less ground clutter, and the removal of distortions, speckles, interferences, and more. The result is clean weather output data which can be further processed as meteorological products.
Fast and reliable hardware
The GMWR-25-WS is built with a fan beam antenna providing continuous 360° azimuthal scans and comes with single polarization. A very high rotational speed allows update rates of less than 12 seconds per turn. The GMWR-25-WS uses a stable, well proven design based on standard radar technology and built with a minimum number of components. This enables a system with low investment and small operating costs while being highly reliable. Its hardware is fully solid state, except the magnetron transmitter. Hardware maintenance can be performed by any local technical service experienced in radar maintenance. The radar is designed with easy replaceable sub-units (line replacement unit, LRU) which allows quick repair and reduced downtime.

Uses:
The 373 has been a reference in humidity measurement for almost 20 years. Incremental development based on operational experience and customer feedback means that the 373 continues to meet and exceed the expectations of hundreds of users in some of the most challenging humidity applications.
Despite its high performance and specification, the 373 is easy to use and simple to maintain. The touch panel user interface is simple and intuitive to use and enables even inexperienced users to perform measurements successfully. Even early instruments remain serviceable thanks to the use of industry standard components and careful control of software build records.
A unique feature of the 373 is its dual mirror PRT configuration. In standards laboratories, this means that the user can use an external resistance bridge to measure the mirror temperature independent of the 373 electronics so that measurement uncertainty can be reduced and long-term stability maintained in the event of changes to the 373 measurement electronics.
The latest 373 developments include improved materials of construction to further reduce sorption effects, higher pressure capability based on new measuring head designs, data acquisition software with automated humidity generator control, and multichannel thermometer data integration.

GAMIC designs and manufactures ENIGMA IV, the advanced weather radar signal processor for single and dual polarization. It comprises two components – the intermediate frequency digitizer (IFD) converts your radar output to a stable and high quality digital signal while the host provides clean output data by applying powerful algorithms and corrections.
State-of-the-art signal processing hardware
The ENIGMA IV signal processor consists of a powerful host PC (ENIGMA PC) and a 19″ companion device called IFD (Intermediate Frequency Digitizer). The IFD can be installed either in an IT rack or head-mounted behind the radar antenna. It can be used in any common weather radar installation.
The IFD controls the transmit timing of the connected radar by applying trigger signals and performing the data acqusition accordingly. It comes with three separate input channels for horizontal, vertical, and burst (transmit signal / reference) signal measurement which enable full dual polarization capability. The IF signal is digitized at an intermediate frequency of 60 MHz (other frequencies optional) and the radar echo data is tagged with corresponding time and elevation/azimuth angle information. For optimum sensitivity and dynamic range a digital filter is applied which matches the transmitted pulse length perfectly. The generated raw echo data is provided to the host PC through an optical fibre connection of 1 Gbit/s for further processing.
The ENIGMA IV signal processor is very versatile and can be used for magnetron, klystron, or solid-state radars. In case of non-solid-state radars, the IFD is able to measure the IF frequency and apply an AFC (automatic frequency control) for proper receiving. For solid-state radars the complete output signal is generated by the IFD utilizing pulse compression technology.
Powerful correction algorithms
To get the best out of your weather radar data, ENIGMA IV comes with powerful algorithms to ensure high data quality and reduced disturbances. Digital Doppler velocity processing enables more accurate velocity data and better clutter mitigation. The velocity based clutter filters provide 40 dB or better clutter rejection, resulting in less ground clutter. Dual polarization based rain and gas attenuation correction are inevitable for reliable rain rate retrievals, especially for sensitive X-band radars. Further data improvement features comprise the removal of multi-trip echoes, RF interferences, and sun spokes.
ENIGMA IV is highly configurable, including speckle remover (via reflectivity, velocity, spectrum width, or dual pol moment), thresholding (NOISE, CCOR, SIGPOW, RHOHV, SQI), and KDP interpolation.
New features for enhanced data
GAMIC’s signal processor ENIGMA IV just got better with some new features to get even more out of your data. Those new features include the following:
Comprehensive output moments
Besides typical single polarization radar moments reflectivity (Z), radial velocity (V), and spectral width (W), ENIGMA IV provides output of enhanced dual polarization moments which are essential for any contemporary processing and further usage of weather radar data. Those comprise ZDR, KDP, RHOHV, PHIDP, and much more. All radar moments are provided uncorrected and corrected.
For comprehensive data quality and signal analysis, ENIGMA IV serves some more output variables like signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), signal quality index (SQI), clutter power (CCOR), power spectrum (DFT), and more. For a non-exhaustive list of all ENIGMA IV output moments and further details, consider the ENIGMA IV datasheet.

Features and benefits
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.

Apogee Instruments’ fan-aspirated radiation shield works with several temperature and humidity sensors to provide research-grade measurements with minimal power consumption. It is ideal for solar-powered sites.
Rugged, Low-power Fan
The fan has an ingress protection (IP) rating of 55, virtually eliminating moisture and dust ingress. At full speed the power requirement is 1 W (80 mA at 12 V DC). To conserve power fan speed can be reduced, via pulse width modulation (PWM), to 0.3 W at night or when wind speed is greater than 3 m s-1 without loss of accuracy. If the fan is continuously operated at full speed lifetime is rated at 50,000 hours (5.7 years). The fan includes a tachometer, allowing RPM to be mounted to detect obstruction of the fan.
Aerodynamic Shape
The curved inlet facilitates the reduction of air into the shield through the Coandã effect (tendency of fluid to follow a convex surface). The tapered diameter of the internal surface enhances air velocity through the Venturi effect (reduction in fluid pressure after flowing through a constriction). Both effects contribute to more efficient air flow and allow for a lower power fan than other fan-aspirated radiation shields on the market.
Sensor Compatibility
Various humidity and temperature sensors work with the shield through the use of adapter plugs. Standard adapter plugs are available for the Apogee ST-110 thermistor, Apogee ST-300 PRT, and the EE08-SS air temperature/relative humidity probe. Upon request, custom plugs are also available for sensors such as the Vaisala HMP110, Campbell Scientific CS215, Rotronic HC2-S3, or a combination of temperature sensor and relative humidity probe. Please contact us to discuss options, and click here to view a guideline for custom adapter plug constraints.

The CE312 is a portable field instrument particularly suitable for thermal ground or atmosphere campaigns in the field measurements and for continuous operation with robotized pointing within an observation network.
