[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1300513, member: 54178"] Aaaarrrggghh! My bad. I meant to write LIDAR and had a senior brain fart. I had just finished reading an article on LIDAR tech for wind farms and [I]still[/I] it didn't transfer from brain to fingers when I wrote the post. The wind-sensing LIDAR I meant to say is a different "species" of laser inferometry. I agree, standard IR single beam ranging laser beams would not be able to detect wind, mirage notwithstanding. But UV scanning LIDAR has the ability to do so, especially in more humid conditions. I think the power required for this kind of wind-sensing LIDAR is the main technological obstacle. Eric B.
