Environmental & pollution control
Meteorological instruments for data capture in pollution and environmental studies
Flexible deployment
With environmental and pollution studies conducted in a variety of fixed and remote locations, it is necessary to select sensing equipment with flexible mounting options. In addition to mounting to fixed facilities (on a building-mounted pole for example), sensors used remotely are typically mounted on a tripod for flexible and rapid deployment.
Accurate environmental & plume modelling
It is essential to capture multiple environmental parameters for accurate analysis of pollution, environmental conditions and plume modelling. Typical parameters include wind speed and direction, temperature and humidity.
Recommended instruments and sensors for environmental & pollution control...
Gill WindSonic is a low-cost 2-axis ultrasonic anemometer, providing wind speed (0-60m/s) and direction data in a robust housing. This anemometer has no moving parts, offering maintenance-free operation in a wide range of applications.
MetConnect is a compact multi-sensor professional weather station providing wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, temperature, humidity and dew point measurements, with capability to connect auxiliary sensors and combine all inputs into one serial data output.
The R3-50 3-axis anemometer has been designed for scientific research, and is particularly suitable for determining fluxes using the eddy covariance technique.
Accurate air quality monitoring
Understanding the sources of pollution and its distribution is important to local authorities so that they can take steps and introduce policies to reduce it. A number of factors need to be known in order for the appropriate analysis to take place – wind speed and direction, temperature and humidity data is essential for this analysis.
Operational savings
With no requirement for on-going calibration or maintenance and no moving mechanical parts, the use of solid-state wind sensors for pollution monitoring reduces maintenance overhead and operational costs.
