Overview
The WindSonic1-ETM is a two-dimensional ultrasonic anemometer for measuring wind speed and direction. On this version of the WindSonic1, the cable is fitted with a connector and has the ideal length for attachment to the ET107 Station. The WindSonic1-ETM includes a 1.2 ft pipe that can be used with the ET107’s crossarm U-bolt bracket.
WindSonics are manufactured by Gill Instruments Ltd.
Technical Description
The WindSonic1 uses two pairs of orthogonally oriented transducers to sense the horizontal wind. The transducers bounce the ultrasonic signal from a hood, thus minimizing the effects of transducer shadowing and flow distortion.
Unlike mechanical anemometers, the WindSonic1 has no moving parts to be periodically replaced—minimizing routine maintenance costs.
