| | The new-generation LOA-005 uses Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology for enhanced accuracy and response. It is completely compatible with LOA-004. |
The Long Baseline Optical Anemometer and Turbulence Sensor measures the path-averaged crosswind and turbulence along distances up to 10 kilometers. Designed for outdoor use, it mounts on tripods for rapid setup, and is completely eye-safe. The LOA is ideal for outdoor environmental monitoring where general mass emissions measurements are required. As an emergency response tool, the LOA provides key crosswind data for perimeter monitoring. The LOA has demonstrated many uses in the realm of airport safety such as detecting and measuring: wake vortex of jet engines, microbursts, downdrafts, and wind shear.
