Second Wind's Triton Sonic Wind Profiler to study SODAR potential off the shore of SC

Columbia Regional Business Report | Columbia, SC:
"The two organizations have partnered with Santee Cooper, Clemson’s S.C. Institute for Energy Studies, Coastal Carolina University, Center for Hydrogen Research and the U.S. Coast Guard to make up the South Carolina Consortium for Offshore Wind.

On Wednesday, the consortium installed Second Wind’s Triton Sonic Wind Profiler, which uses sound detection and ranging technology, on an offshore Coast Guard platform off the coast of Georgetown, to study SODAR technology’s potential as an offshore wind measurement tool."

[The potential for wind power was established in a landmark study by Prof. Wile E. Coyote and was profiled in a 1958  documentary "Whoa Be-Gone" directed by Chuck Jones].
