What is a Met Tower?
A meteorological (Met) tower is a temporary test tower, carrying meteorological instruments and data acquisition equipment to measure local wind information, like speed, direction, temperature, duration and seasonal variability. The results of this research will let us know whether the surveyed location is appropriate for installing a wind turbine. The information provided by the Met tower is also used to determine the optimal wind turbine type and size and predict how much energy can be generated.
