The Boundary Layer Scintillometer BLS optically measures atmospheric turbulence, heat flux and crosswind over spatial scales up to 5 kilometres. The spatial averaging results in significant advantages over conventional point measuring.
BLS Scintillometer
Description
The Boundary Layer Scintillometer BLS optically measures atmospheric turbulence, heat flux and crosswind over spatial scales up to 5 kilometres. The spatial averaging results in significant advantages over conventional point measuring.
With its proprietary technique, this large aperture scintillometer sets a new standard in accuracy and ease of set-up. By accounting for transmission changes, the BLS is capable of measuring even in unfavourable and varying seeing conditions. The measured data are stored in a Signal Processing Unit and read by a PC either in real time or from memory. The BLS is fully weather resistant and supports battery operation.
