Portable Sodar
Model PA0

  
The PA-0 SODAR has the highest altitude range and greatest resistance to ambient acoustic noise in SODAR of this small size and incredible mobility. This can make it a first choice for classical SODAR applications, such as plant monitoring, urban air pollution, and atmospheric research.
