Measuring into stiff headwinds
When it comes to measuring wind, trade-offs have always
been involved. Cup anemometers can't measure both wind speed and
wind direction (or low wind speeds, for that matter). They're also
prone to malfunction since they all contain moving parts.
Meanwhile, sonic anemometers have always been too costly. Until
now.
The best of both worlds
The wind-tunnel-tested ATMOS 22 ultrasonic anemometer
delivers the best of both worlds. It's accurate at any wind speed
because there aren't any moving parts that cause friction or fail.
And it's inexpensive, especially when you consider the low-energy
design. Accuracy. Dependability. Affordability. You get all three
with the ATMOS 22.
Accuracy that will blow you away
If you want accurate wind profiling, a sonic anemometer is
the obvious choice. Designed with canopies in mind, the ATMOS 22
registers even the lowest thresholds of wind speed (0 m/s) with the
added ability to detect fine-scale variations within 0.01 m/s
resolution. We even installed spikes on flat surfaces to dissipate
raindrop energy so transducer signals don't get
obstructed.
Contrast the ATMOS 22's advanced technology to a cup or
propeller wind anemometer. Neither will spin if wind speed is too
low. Cup anemometers also don't indicate wind direction, unless you
combine them with a wind vane. And both are prone to additional
inaccuracies due to worn out moving parts. But with the ATMOS 22,
you can accurately measure wind speed anywhere, every time, with
total confidence.
Wind measurement is now a breeze
The ATMOS 22 was designed without moving parts, meaning
there's never any mechanical wear. No oiling or replacing bearings.
And no recalibration required. Just reliability you can continue to
count on.
Not only does its ultra-low power consumption make it
ideal for long-term, remote installations, but its compact size
makes it small enough to deploy inside canopies.
A low-cost sonic anemometer. Yes, you heard right.
The ATMOS 22 is not only far more affordable than other
sonic anemometers but also uses 100 to 1,000 times less power.
Running on less than 100 uA, the ATMOS 22 frees you to make wind
measurements in multiple locations without having to constantly
change batteries.
Sounds like a smarter way to measure wind. Because it is.
The precise accuracy, yet low-maintenance of sonic
measurement. The low-cost of a regular anemometer, plus even lower
power consumption. The ATMOS 22 was engineered to offer a wide
range of advantages across the widest range of wind speed, all for
an affordable price.
