Renowned Scientist to Give Seminar on Measuring Atmospheric Turbulence

Danish scientist Jakob Mann, a respected authority on atmospheric physics, will give a seminar on wind turbulence at California State University, Chico on Tuesday, July 16, at 9 a.m. 

Mann, a wind energy professor at the Technical University of Denmark, is known in his field for developing a model now used with lidar technology, which operates similarly to radar technology, but uses light waves instead of microwaves. He will lead a discussion that answers the question, “How can Doppler lidars measure turbulence in the lowest part of the atmosphere?” 

The complete release is available on the CSU, Chico News website.
