Airborne Wind Measurement

 

  • Highly accurate 'real time' wind speed and direction data across any on'offshore location

  • Vital wind data across large areas for offshore wind farm efficiency calculations and turbine location planning

  • Analysis of wind speed distribution and peak gust data over a large geographical area

  • Fixed wind airborne sensors which acquire high precision data for:

    • Three dimensional wind and turbulence measurement 

    • True air speed

    • Temperature

    • Humidity

    • Barometric pressure

  • Applications include:

    • Data for offshore developments 

    • Pollution transport studies

    • Atmospheric observation including climate changeTemperature

What can we offer?

The offshore wind industry along with European and national government bodies, local authorities and research institutions have a vested interest in wind data. Whether monitoring an entire designated offshore wind farm zone for wind speed or local air quality monitoring or modelling, APEM’s dedicated airborne capability provides high precision meteorological data.

We operate a variety of other airborne sensors which can be operated simultaneously offering a host of data collection options tailored to suit specific projects. Dedicated wind and meteorological surveys can also be undertaken to survey large, often remote areas quickly and accurately. All data collected is processed by our specialist GIS data team who follow stringent quality control procedures to ensure data is precisely and accurately processed.

Why choose APEM?

APEM is a science-based consultancy, which has specialised in solving problems for industry for over 20 years. In 2005, APEM’s push to continually develop, invest and utilise new technologies saw us launch APEM Remote Sensing, providing a rapid and efficient cost effective method of data collection for a variety of environmental based surveys. We operate right across Europe, offering a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to the monitoring and management of environmental parameters. Our scientists are recognised experts in their diverse and specialist fields. Our teams work to exacting standards and are committed to providing a professional, client-focused service.
