Research and environment application
The monitor on the lamp post needs the wind beside it
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.
Recommended wind sensors for local authorities
Gill WindSonic is a low-cost 2-axis ultrasonic anemometer, providing wind speed (0 to 60 m/s) and direction data in a robust housing. This anemometer has no moving parts, which removes a common source of mechanical wear 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.
