SLS Series Scintillometers

Heat and Momentum Fluxes: Scintec's SLS Series Scintillometers are the only commercially available instruments optically measuring both, heat flux and momentum flux. From the turbulent fluxes, the Monin Obukhov length or stability parameter L is directly derived.

Temperatur Structure Parameter and Dissipation rates:
Within seconds, the path averaged dissipation rate of kinetic energy is determined and the structure parameter of temperature fluctuations CT2 is provided.

Refractive Index Fluctuations: For applications in optical propagation analysis, Scintec SLS Series Scintillometers determine both, the structure parameter (structure constant) Cn2 and the inner scale l0 of refractive index fluctuations.

High sensitivity: With extremely low noise optical preamplifiers, Scintec's SLS Series scintillometers achieve a very high sensitivity. Hence lowest fluxes and turbulence levels can be measured.

Easy Alignment: Scintec SLS Series scintillometers have a large field of view for easy alignment. For maximum comfort, automatically aligning models (SLS20-A and SLS40-A) are available. For use on towers, Scintec offers vibration-correcting models (SLS40 and SLS40-A).
