Metek Meteorologische Messtechnik GmbH products

The ultrasonic anemometers uSonic-3 Class A MP and uSonic-3 Cage MP  represent an innovative step forward to highest performance in atmospheric turbulence sounding. Based on the well proven METEK ultrasonic sensor family uSonic-3 the design of the sensor head enables the user to perform three independent measurements of the 3D air flow quasi-simultaneously using only one sole sonic anemometer by arranging each sonic transmitter to three opposite sonic receivers.

Metek’s ultrasonic anemometers uSonic-3, uSonic-2 and uSonic-1 have acquired wide acceptance as measuring sensors for wind and turbulence. uSonics are made from stainless steel and allow an efficient heating to prevent icing. uSonics are used in eddy-flux installations, in operational networks, at wind turbines or in any industry. A convenient user interface offers a flexible adaption to customer needs and includes a quick look of uSonic anemometer data.

The Micro Rain Radar MRR at 24 GHz is a unique meteorological radar profiler for Doppler spectra of hydrometeors in height ranges 15 m … 6000 m. The high resolution in time and height enables the MRR to monitor the genesis of frozen hydrometeors, the melting zone (bright band) and the formation of rain drops. With the derived rain rate the MRR offers a calibration of weather radar. The MRR has been adapted even for monitoring of avalanches and volcanos.

The newly developed hardware of the MRR-PRO combines the unique Micro Rain Radar technique of the MRR-2 and a high performance processing unit which significantly improves all operating parameters. The system allows precise measurements of the Doppler spectra caused by hydrometeors and yields the rain rate, liquid water content and drop size distribution for the liquid phase. All computations including automatic melting zone detection are integrated in the outdoor electronics. The system has been evolved to be a powerful stand-alone profiler for investigations of precipitation and cloud dynamics with very low installation and logistics effort.
