Klaus Franke studied physics at the University of Bremen finishing his university tenure with a doctorate degree in atmospheric physics. He then started work with WindGuard Group to apply his knowledge of atmospheric processes and data analysis skills on power curve and wind resource measurements. Here he coordinated international measurement projects with both met masts and remote sensing devices. One major field of expertise is the usage and testing of remote sensing devices. He was involved in the development of one of the world’s first accredited calibration station for remote sensing devices and has performed several classifications of such instruments.
