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.
