Winter is here. Automated monitoring with our web app can help ensure high-quality data and keep your wind lidar and met masts up and running.
How Moli helps in winter
Find out faster
Minimise data gaps
With Moli you can see instantly if data have been uploaded recently and check the availability by day and hour. That means you can see if you need to check your communications system, call your power provider, or schedule a site visit.
Moli will email you if availability falls below a pre-defined threshold, so you don’t even need to visit the Moli website.
Avoid flat lines
Detect frozen sensors
Wind vanes can ice up in winter, giving false readings of the wind direction. Other sensors can struggle at low temperatures too and give weird data. So, it’s essential to know if a sensor value isn’t changing.
With Moli you’ll get a warning email if a sensor is stuck, and a note in your logbook. That means you can check that the data return to normal and be forewarned for your analysis.
Keeping it level
Reduce uncertainty by avoiding tilted lidar
It’s important to install lidars as near to vertical as possible. But cold nights followed by warmer days can turn the ground to mud, and frost can heave platforms or trailers around. That can make your lidar tilt.
Moli automatically monitors the angle of your lidar. It’ll email you if this changes suddenly or passes a pre-defined threshold. So, again, there’s no need to visit the website.
