The wind monitors are lightweight instruments that measure wind speed and wind direction. Manufactured by R. M. Young, the wind monitors are cabled for use with our dataloggers.
The wind monitors' design emphasizes simplicity and lightweight construction. They are made out of rigid UV-stabilized thermoplastic with stainless steel and anodized aluminum fittings. The thermoplastic material resists corrosion from sea-air environments and atmospheric pollutants. The wind monitors use stainless-steel, precision-grade ball bearings for the propeller shaft and vertical shaft bearings.
