Measure wind without moving mechanical parts.
WHAT IT IS
Solid-state wind instruments that use ultrasonic signals to determine air movement between transducers.
WHAT IT DOES
Calculates wind from changes in ultrasonic transit time, enabling continuous measurement without cups or vanes.
WHAT IT MEASURES
Wind speed and direction; selected three-dimensional instruments can also measure the vertical wind component and related airflow quantities.
WHERE IT IS USED
Meteorological stations, aviation, renewable energy, marine and industrial sites, research systems and demanding field installations.
