2010-2011, RES, Race Bank, LiDAR Wind Monitoring

In addition to the Race Bank Meteorological Mast ENGrbcM50 logging system and instrumentation, a WindCube V2 LiDAR was installed on the Race Bank offshore platform in December 2010. The purpose of this installation was twofold: - As the level of IEC non-compliance varies across instruments on the Race Bank mast, LiDAR measurements were used to facilitate tower shadow corrections and gauge the consequent reduction of mast measurement uncertainty; - The LiDAR measurements were also used for shear verification purposes.
