Scintillometer SLS

With a proprietary displaced-beam technique, the Surface Layer Scintillometers deliver extensive turbulence information, including the fluxes of heat and momentum. Using a patented method, the SLS scintillometers are the only instruments providing both heat flux and momentum flux by pure optical means. Other output quantities include the Obukhov length, the structure parameter of refractive index, the dissipation rate of kinetic energy and the crosswind speed. With the SLS a transmitter emits two parallel laser beams. The receiver is located 50 to 250 m apart from the transmitter.
