India Tests Indigenous Floating LiDAR Buoy System
Recently, the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) successfully tested a Floating LiDAR Buoy System off the coast of Muttom in Tamil Nadu.
- The development strengthens India’s ocean observation and offshore wind assessment capabilities.
What is a Floating LiDAR Buoy System?
- A floating ocean platform equipped with LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging).
- Uses laser pulses to measure atmospheric conditions.
- Captures wind data up to 300 metres above sea level.
- Provides high-precision, real-time ocean-atmosphere data.
How Does It Work?
- The buoy floats on the ocean surface.
- Emits laser pulses into the atmosphere.
- Pulses reflect off particles and return to the sensor.
- Data is analysed to determine wind speed, ....
