| Description: |
The University of Maine is working on a buoy-based light detection and ranging system, or LiDAR, which it hopes to deploy in the Gulf of Maine by late May or early June. The technology uses a laser to measure the speed of tiny particles in the air, gauging the wind speed up to 600 feet above the water's surface. That system's wind data will be used to determine where future offshore wind farms could be placed, and could one day develop into a business. [Source: Bangor Daily News]
