A research-grade plug-and-play sensor for measuring and logging wind direction data.
A research-grade plug-and-play sensor for measuring and logging wind direction data.
This highly-durable wind vane has a drip overhang for anti-icing. Its shielded stainless-steel ball bearings and static-dissipating housing provide a long sensor life. The sensor calculates a unit vector average of the wind direction, providing data directly in degrees.
Features
