Great Things Come in Small Packages

The industries smallest, most lightweight and affordable side-looking Doppler profiler. The SonTek-SL3000 (3G) is capable of small volumes and narrow channel dimensions as small as 0.5m (1.6ft). Get the highest resolution possible of any side-looking Doppler profiler with cell sizes of 4cm.
