Mobile Ultrasonic Weather Multi-sensors
Featured Product from Airmar Technology Corporation
Airmar has conquered the challenge of acquiring accurate weather data from mobile platforms.
Airmar’s ultrasonic WeatherStation® instruments deliver accurate, reliable weather data from a rugged, compact and maintenance-free design with no moving parts. But these mobile weather multisensors are especially unique because they integrate an internal GPS and 3-axis compass that enable the calculation of dynamic true wind speed and direction based upon the apparent wind, speed of the vehicle, and vehicle heading.
Dynamic true wind speed is the wind corrected for the speed and direction of the vehicle, making these durable all-in-one sensors ideal for hyper-local weather on the go.
Applications can include:
- Intelligent transportation: Weather data collection while on the move for real-time, hyper-local awareness of road conditions
- Road construction: Knowledge of weather activity for scheduling work during the most optimal conditions
- Agriculture: Confirmation in process that weather conditions are optimal for precisely timed and placed insect and vegetation control spraying
Weather data is delivered via configurable RS232, RS422 and CAN Bus digital data outputs.
