Sodars of the Scintec FAS Series are advanced instruments for the remote measurement of wind and turbulence in the lower atmosphere. Areas of applications include meteorological research and monitoring, wind energy siting, diffusion analysis at industrial plants, wind shear detection at airports and optical propagation through turbulence.

Sodars vertically emit sound pulses and derive the output information from the frequency and amplitude of the atmospheric echoes. Besides wind speed and direction, a variety of information is provided about the characteristics and structure of boundary layer turbulence. The three models of the Scintec FAS Series SFAS, MFAS and XFAS, have spatial resolutions between 5 m and 20 m. Depending on the model, maximum measurement ranges between several hundred meters and more than a kilometer can be achieved.

The Scintec FAS Series has features you do not find with any other acoustic profiler, such as the highly efficient Flat Array Antenna, the combined multi-frequency and multiangle operation with digital processing, advanced software capabilities allowing operation in noisy environments like airports, an html interface for remote control or the possibility to perform an automatic site and settings analysis. The result is a significant increase in data accuracy, measurement range, data availability and comfort of operation.

The Scintec FAS Series combines the most innovative technology with the highest quality standards to satisfy your needs in acoustic profiling.
