Yesterday, Matt and I drove up to the west ridge of the valley, where the wind turbine is located, to visit some of the other sites and get a better view of the valley. I wanted to share some of the pictures that we took up on the ridge. Driving up and along the ridge really shows the scope of this experiment; I have never seen so many different instruments deployed in such an integrated fashion at any other experiment before.

Various Masts along the Ridge:
Windscanner lidar systems from the Danish Technical University that use synchronized scan patterns to study flow over the ridge and turbine wake. The right images also nicely shows the SE tower transect across the valley.

Finally one scenic shots of us:
