OptoAtmospherics
OptoAtmospherics, Inc. is an Ann Arbor, Michigan company (founded 2009, spun out of Michigan Aerospace Corporation) that develops UV-based Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) systems for the wind energy industry. Its laser-based atmospheric measurement products deliver continuous wind speed, direction, temperature, and density reporting from turbine-mounted or ground-based platforms, with real-time detection of wind gusts, shear, and turbulence to improve site assessment, increase energy output, and protect turbine equipment. The business is a hardware and atmospheric-sensing venture; it exposes no public developer API, SDK, or software platform. Its former domain (optoatmospherics.com) is now parked/for-sale and the product line lives on under michiganaerospace.com/optoatmospherics/.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
OptoAtmospherics is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — OptoAtmospherics scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

OptoAtmospherics is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
