Ultrasonic Anemometer Thies 3D – Heating in Arms and Sensor Head
High-precision 3D ultrasonic anemometer measuring X, Y and Z wind vectors, direction and acoustic virtual temperature, with heated sensor arms and converters for professional wind-energy and meteorological monitoring.
Typical Applications
- Three-dimensional wind research

- Complex-terrain wind studies
- Meteorological research stations
- Gust and peak-wind measurement
- Cold-climate wind monitoring
The Thies 3D Ultrasonic Anemometer S83100H is a high-precision, maintenance-free three-dimensional ultrasonic wind sensor designed to measure the horizontal and vertical components of wind velocity, wind direction and acoustic virtual temperature. Six ultrasonic transducers form three measurement paths, enabling real-time determination of the X, Y and Z wind vectors without moving mechanical components.
The sensor provides inertia-free measurement of rapidly changing airflow, making it particularly suitable for gust measurement, turbulence analysis, wind-energy research and professional meteorological applications. A high-capacity 32-bit DSP provides configurable averaging and statistical processing, while RS485/RS422 digital communication, configurable analogue outputs and up to five analogue inputs support advanced data-acquisition systems. The S83100H incorporates heating in the sensor arms and ultrasonic converters for reliable winter operation.
Key Features
- Three-dimensional ultrasonic wind measurement
- IEC 61400-12-1:2017 classified
- Measures X, Y and Z wind components
- Measures horizontal and vertical wind velocity
- Measures acoustic virtual temperature
- 0–85 m/s specified wind-speed range
- Output measurement capability up to 99.99 m/s
- 0.01 m/s starting threshold
- ±0.1 m/s accuracy up to 5 m/s
- RS485 / RS422 digital interfaces
- Configurable analogue outputs
- Up to five analogue inputs
- Up to 285 complete measurement sequences per second
- Heating in sensor arms and ultrasonic converters
- Winter operation with heating down to -75°C
Because the instrument measures the vertical wind component as well as the horizontal vector, S83100H can provide turbulence and three-dimensional airflow information that a conventional 2D ultrasonic or cup-and-vane system cannot provide. This makes it particularly useful for boundary-layer research, complex terrain and advanced wind-energy studies.
