Wireless wind monitoring to WMO standards
Compact wireless WMO accuracy wind sensor for urban-meteorology, agriculture, smart cities, and resilient city projects. Offers 4+ months of battery life without sun and maintenance-free service life with long-term measurement stability due to its elliptical cups and metal construction. Comes with free lifetime access to the allMETEO® weather portal and secure open communication protocol to connect directly to your own platform if required.
WMO conforming wireless wind station
Elliptic cups guarantee high accuracy and data availability in all-weather with superb performance in snowy conditions. Solar powered wireless transmitter ensures 4+ months of run time even when covered by snow or ice.
Based on the MeteoWind® Compact anemometer which exceed the highest MEASNET/WMO/NWS measurement standards of accuracy, this robust all-metal anemometer and wind direction vane additionally offers wireless IoT ease of use and setup.
Very low starting wind speed of less than 0.2 m/s
Excellent long-term precision and accuracy meeting all World Meteorological Organization (WMO) measurement standards.
Flat elliptic cups offer resistance to snow buildup improve snow shedding over conical and spherical cups.
Available with a built in internal heater for high data availability in winter hoar frost and rime ice conditions such as found on ski resorts.
MeteoWind® IoT Pro is the proven MeteoWind® Compact anemometer and wind vane with a wireless solar powered LoRaWAN or Sigfox module.
TECHNICAL FEATURES
Elliptical cup shape
Patented elliptical design offers a larger wind blown area than circular and conical cups for higher aerodynamic torque to overcome bearing friction. Result is more consistent anemometer response throughout the complete air temperature range.
Benefits
Low starting speeds
Long-term dirt, dust and sand resistance created by the use of larger bearings which offer long-term measurement stability not effected by dirt
Reduces effects of rain and snow on anemometer linearity
Faster response than ultrasonic anemometers with < 0.3 second time constant at 4 m/s.
Elliptical cup cross-section
Aerodynamic stability in all-weather and throughout the complete wind speed range is a result of the elliptical cup cross section. Elliptical cup cross section is a very stable aerodynamic shape.
Benefits
High full-scale linearity throughout the whole wind speed range
Rain and dirt buildup on cups have minimal influence on measurement stability
Flat elliptic cups reduce ability for snow buildup on anemometer cups
Superb off-axis response for reliable data in turbulent environments
All metal wind direction vane
Efficient all metal design with superb response rate and good aerodynamic damping to prevent overshoots and reduce wind data noise. Held in place by two oversize stainless steel ball bearings for robustness and dirt resistance.
Benefits
Fast response and low rotational inertia
Low starting wind speed <0.2 m/s
Long-term dirt, dust and sand resistance created by the use of two oversize bearings for long-term measurement stability and strength
All-metal construction for strength and long life
Wireless & reliable
Rugged corrosion resistant anodized aluminum body and wind vane
Tough fiber reinforced cups from FRP material tested to -60 °C for good impact resistance
Open communication protocol allows customers to retrieve data directly from the sensor or to use our allMETEO® weather data platform
