Research Anemometers

R3 Anemometers

The Solent R3 research range of anemometers has been designed with researchers in mind who need to determine fluxes using the eddy covariance technique. The range provides U, V, W and SOS (sonic temperature) outputs, which may be logged using the free Gill WindCom software. All units are served with common electronics and software and may be supplied with accessories that include cables, power supplies and sensor input units (analogue inputs).

WindDisplay

WindDisplay is compatible with the WindSonic and WindObserver anemometers. These allow for the display of wind speed and direction using high visibility LED technology. WindDisplay is available in two display formats (standard and marine) and 110 or 240 V ac operation with RS422 or NMEA inputs.
