A system for investigating the variation of one or more wind characteristics over a given area comprises a plurality of wind characteristic measuring means 1 each of which outputs a data signal which is indicative of the value of said wind characteristic, the outputs of all the measuring means 1 deployed in the area being relayed to a central receiving unit 5 which may include means 6 for recording the relayed data or may additionally provide means (7, 9) for providing a real-time display of said data. Preferably, each wind characteristic measuring means comprises a balloon or kite-like device tethered to one of a plurality of anchor points distributed around the area (Figs. 2, 3). The system may be used to optimize the siting of wind turbines. <IMAGE> |
