Leosphere windcube project

The Leosphere windcube project is helping wind farms to optimise their renewable-energy operations through the lidar (light detection and ranging) technology used by ESA's ADM-Aeolus satellite. Developed by the French company Leosphere, 'windcubes' on the ground perform 3D wind-field scans and can also be deployed to detect severe weather and climate conditions as well as wind shears for airports.
