Methods and systems for use in remote sensing

A system for use in remote sensing applications associated with a wind energy capture device in the form of a wind turbine or a tidal energy capture device in the form of a tidal turbine, the system comprising:

• a controller configured to receive measurement data acquired during a remote sensing device measurement campaign, the controller configured to determine from the received measurement data an adjustment in a measurement configuration of a remote sensing device, wherein said adjustment to the measurement configuration of the remote sensing device comprises a change in a scan geometry configuration of the remote sensing device,
• wherein the controller is configured to provide an output indicative of the change to the scan geometry configuration of the remote sensing device for use in actively adjusting said measurement configuration of the remote sensing device during said measurement campaign,
• wherein determining said change in the scan geometry configuration comprises determining a measurement of interest from said received measurement data and determining from said measurement of interest a scan geometry configuration indicative of an optimal scan geometry configuration of the remote sensing device for said measurement of interest,
• wherein the output is based on the scan geometry configuration which is indicative of the optimal scan geometry configuration of the remote sensing device for said measurement of interest, and
• wherein adjusting the measurement configuration of the remote sensing device during said measurement campaign comprises rewriting the scan geometry configuration of the remote sensing device and/or selecting a scan geometry configuration for the remote sensing device from a plurality of pre-determined scan geometry configurations for the remote sensing device based on the output.
