Wind Corridor

Wind Corridor is a GIS application that will plot a wind channel onto a MapInfo Professional map.  Wind Corridor operates in a manual mode or in an automatic mode.  In the automatic mode, Wind Corridor checks the status of a meteorological file, and when changed, a new wind corridor is generated. In manual mode, the user enters the meteorological parameters or supplies a file to generate a wind corridor.  Wind Corridor can be configured to work with other dataloggers that can produce a comma delimited or text output files.

Wind Corridor is particularly useful for assessing odor complaints.  By using the built-in features, a user can select the location of an odor complaint and back-flow the winds to see if they crossed your location.  Wind Corridor can be set to draw in the direction the winds are flowing towards or from which the wind is blowing. In an emergency, Wind Corridor can provide a first cut view of areas that are being affected. Wind Corridor also displays the time of the corridor, wind direction, wind speed, standard deviation, and temperature (if available) on the map.

Wind Corridor is not a dispersion model and does not provide any estimates of concentration. The projection of the maps must be a geographic system (an Earth Coordinate system i.e. Longitude / Latitude, UTM, State Plane, etc.).  Wind Corridor will not work correctly for a Non-Earth coordinate system. The system requires the Windows version of MapInfo Professional® which is included in the price of the software.
