Wind Research 200 3-axis ultrasonic anemometer

Heated


The Wind Research 200 ultrasonic anemometer is a very fast response 3-axis ultrasonic anemometer for highly accurate measurements of horizontal and vertical wind speed and direction in extreme icing conditions and freezing precipitation.

The Wind Research 200 ultrasonic anemometer has a brass measuring head to optimise the powerful heating which keeps the measuring head ice free.

This makes the Wind Research 200 ideal for use where extremes of weather or heavy icing conditions are experienced and comes with a field calibration kit for user confidence checks and a robust transport case.


Features

  • 100 W heated measuring head
  • no moving parts
  • up to 50 Hz sampling rate
  • wind speed range 0.01 - 45 m/s (0 - 100 mph)
  • digital outputs RS232 and RS422
  • verifies and reports data quality
  • battery power 24 VDC or mains 110-220 VAC (weatherproof mains adapter supplied)
  • field calibration kit
  • transport case
  • 12 metre (39 ft) power and data cables.


What it does


The Wind Pesearch 200 provides the following information in various data outputs which can be polled or output automatically:

  • instantaneous and averaged data for the three component wind vectors
  • virtual temperature
  • horizontal wind speed and direction plus vertical wind component
  • chart mode (provides 0-540º wind direction and speed values)
  • NMEA value outputs
  • raw data mode (uncorrected) or 2D / 3D head corrected data

Data can be averaged by:

  • scalar or vectoral
  • clock synchronised or running average
  • separate output rates and sampling times

Some other important features:

  • user definable north orientation (range 0-359º alignment off axis)
  • data quality control to perform confidence checks on raw data
  • date / time stamps with several options
  • check sum information
  • calibration validity output monitoring


Examples of data output

Normal data example (instantaneous). Every data string starts with a header line that consists of the string SNC followed by a space and 12 characters for the date/time stamp, another space and finally the UTC string i.e.:

SNC 940815090015 UTC HTR

x = 1.83 y = -0.79 z = 0.20 T = 20.17



where:

HTR
 		   informs the user that the sensor head heating is turned on
 
x
 		 mean x wind component in the sensor related orthogonal co-ordinate system (parallel to the black arrow on the electronic box); unit m/s
 
y
 		 mean y wind component in the sensor related orthogonal co-ordinate system (horizontally perpendicular to x); unit m/s
 
z mean z wind component in the sensor related orthogonal co-ordinate system (vertical); unit m/s
T
 		 mean temperature; unit ºC
