Kestrel 2000 Wind Meter

Product Information

Anemometers can be stand-alone devices, or built into weather stations. Although both are considered accurate, the accuracy of the anemometer is dependent on how you use it. Cup – Cup anemometers work by measuring the force exerted on a cup as it is blown around by the wind. They are not as accurate as hot-wire anemometers, but they are less sensitive to changes in temperature. Moreover, they are more durable than hot-wire anemometers. The length of the spreader itself. This is measured from the side of the mast to the bearing point of the shroud and the spreader end. The longer the spreader is the more stability it provides for the mast, makes the mast stiffer. This is a good feature for teams that are sailing heavier than the recommended crew weight, also better for sailing in lighter air conditions as it makes the mast stiffer and provides more power in the sail plan. Shorter spreaders will make the mast more bendy and de-powered. This is a good set up for lighter crew weights or over powering windy conditions. Spreader Sweep-

These are just some examples. There are many more reasons to use anemometers! Benefits of Handheld AnemometersConnectivity also includes a data cable. This would allow you to connect the handheld anemometer directly to your computer or another device for more accurate readings, as well as transferring of data. An anemometer is a device that measures wind speed. An anemometer is usually a small, handheld device with a spinning wheel or cups. The faster the wheel or cups spin, the higher the wind speed. Some anemometers also have cups that face sideways. The faster the wind blows, the more sideways force it puts on the anemometer’s cups or wheel.

Temperature that a volume of air must be cooled to at constant pressure for the water vapor present to condense into dew and form on a solid surface. Can also be considered to be the water-to-air saturation temperature.In Scotland, the Scottish Raptor Monitoring Scheme is working to enhance coverage and is aiming to produce local study area trends for this species ( Challis et al. 2018). The Kestrel 3550FW digital unit paired with the free Kestrel app puts powerful tools for monitoring, logging, and sending important weather information, like measures wind speed, temperature for making the most informed decisions for fire management strategy.
