From the Bangor Daily News:
“UMaine’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center is working on a buoy-based light detection and ranging system, or LiDAR, which it hopes to deploy in the Gulf of Maine by late May or early June, according the center’s director, Habib Dagher.
“The technology uses a laser to measure the speed of tiny particles in the air, gauging the wind speed up to 600 feet above the water’s surface. The university partnered with Vermont-based NRG Systems to build the LiDAR, which will be mounted to a retrofitted buoy 10 feet in diameter.”
