OptoAtmospherics

OptoAtmospherics, Inc. is an Ann Arbor, Michigan company (founded 2009, spun out of Michigan Aerospace Corporation) that develops UV-based Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) systems for the wind energy industry. Its laser-based atmospheric measurement products deliver continuous wind speed, direction, temperature, and density reporting from turbine-mounted or ground-based platforms, with real-time detection of wind gusts, shear, and turbulence to improve site assessment, increase energy output, and protect turbine equipment. The business is a hardware and atmospheric-sensing venture; it exposes no public developer API, SDK, or software platform. Its former domain (optoatmospherics.com) is now parked/for-sale and the product line lives on under michiganaerospace.com/optoatmospherics/.

OptoAtmospherics is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, LiDAR, Atmospheric Sensing, Wind Energy, and Remote Sensing.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.
