Guidelines for the Use of Sodar in Wind Energy Resource Assessment

Sodar is a ground-based remote sensing technique that is gaining increasingly wide use in the wind energy industry. Bruce Bailey of AWS Truewind, LLC, and I drafted some guidelines for the effective use of sodar in wind energy resource assessment. The document has subsequently been modified in response to input from more than a dozen people representing manufacturers, consultants, and developers. The latest version of the guidelines can be downloaded here.
