NRG Systems has announced that it secured a contract with the State of New York for the supply of up to 17 WINDCUBE 100S 3D Scanning Doppler Lidars for the New York State Mesonet, an Advanced Weather Network dedicated to improving the detection and prediction of severe weather events.
The Lidar units will be integrated into enhanced weather stations dispersed throughout the state, and will provide real-time observations to the National Weather Service (NWS) for nowcasting and ingestion into their high resolution numerical weather prediction models. Data will also be provided to New York State Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Services enabling better short-term forecasting and emergency management decisions.
